Turn Salt Water into Drinking Water - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      This experiment can lead nicely into a social studies unit about the importance of water to human communities.  It could also be used as a starting point for a discussion of how scarcity affects price.
  •  
    Students learn how to separate salt from water in order to create drinking water from salt water.

Germinating Seeds: Explore Plant Life Cycles - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Make sure to add taking measurements in metric units to this activity in order to fully meet the standard.  This unit could be connected to a social studies unit on the plants that are important to the local community and humans in general.
  •  
    A good starting point for  a unit on the parts of a plant and the life cycle of a plant.

Building a Rock and Mineral Collection - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      The number of different properties that the teacher requires the students to observe can greatly affect the difficulty of this assignment.  That offers a great opportunity for differentiation.  This would probably be best as a long activity during a detailed unit.
  •  
    This page has everything a teacher needs to know to make a class rock and mineral collection or assign the task to students.

Build a Balloon Powered Car | Education.com - 1 views

      While this activity does not cover a specific standard it does meet the requirement of teaching the design process.  Make sure that students must design, test, and revise their design to make the activity authentic.  A race would be a great final activity.  Assessment could come from an oral presentation on what they did and why or a visual presentation, such as a poster.

      SC.2.3.7 2000Investigate and observe that the way to change how something is moving is to give it a push or a pull.
  •  
    By focusing on the design aspect of this activity a budding scientist can learn a lot about solving a problem through the scientific design process.
  •  
    Great for deciephering where energy comes from. The design process gives the student a full understanding of how the vehicle works and why it moves.

Explore Blood Science! - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Students who finish early could try drawing the structures of blood.  If the teacher can obtain the materials, looking through a microscope at real slides of blood and draw that for a further extension.
  •  
    This activity lets students create a simple and safe model of human blood.  It provides a way to make something microscopic easier for children to understand.

Your Nose Knows! - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      I like this activity because it works well for a wide variety of students.  For students who are easily overwhelmed reduce the number of scents to match.  High level students could be asked to come up with an idea for another experiment like this one but for a different sense.  Consider allergies when you plan this activity!
  •  
    This is a fun activity that teaches young scientists to use an under utilized sense, smell.

Explore Earth Science and Make a "Worm Hotel" - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Students with high literacy skills can read more information about worms and share it with the class.  Students with low literacy skills can be in charge of making drawings of their observations to keep a visual record of the worms' progress.
    • Susie Beesley
       
      An appropriate children's literature connection might be Diary of a Worm.
  •  
    Students learn all about how worms live in the soil and how they are important to other living things in a very visual way.

Teaching Telling Time - 2 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      To connect time telling to science, talk to children about what time the sun goes up and down and how that changes throughout the year.
    • Krista Hirr
       
      Keep track of times for sunset and sunrise for the morning calendar routine.
  •  
    Clock that can be used on a smart board or projector to help kids tell time. Have students manipulate the clock themselves or just answer questions.
