  This is an experiment that is fun to do in class, but it needs to incorporate the scientific method and discussion of the laws of physics in order to be educational. I would start by explaining Newton's Laws of Motion to the class, writing them on the board, and having students copy them down in their science notebooks. Then, after they understand the Laws of Motion, set up the egg experiment and talk about what will be going on. Have the students draw the initial set-up in their journals, then have them make predictions about what will happen when the experiment is conducted. All of this should be recorded in the journals. Finally, do the experiment (it would be best if students could work in small groups so that they can conduct the experiment for themselves). Have them record what happened with words and pictures and identify if their hypothesis was correct or not. Then explain how this experiment uses the Laws of Motion. This activity could be adapted for special needs kids by allowing them to observe the teacher conducting the experiment rather than doing it themselves. They could try it by themselves first, but then they should watch the teacher do it so that they are certain to see the experiment conducted correctly. 5.NS.1 Make predictions and formulate testable questions. 5.NS.4 Perform investigations using appropriate tools and technologies that will extend the senses.

This activity can be used to introduce Newton's first and third laws of motion to children. First law: If an object experiences no net force, then its velocity is constant: the object is either at rest (if its velocity is zero), or it moves in a straight line with constant speed (if its velocity is nonzero). Third law: When a first body exerts a force F1 on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force F2 = −F1 on the first body. This means that F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Science is fun for kids of all ages. Experiments that dazzle, models that demonstrate, and activities that fascinate are fun for children to watch and participate in. But scientific explanations are often difficult for early elementary students to grasp. By third grade, students are familiar with the scientific process, and are ready to learn the "why" behind science. Here's a quick and easy science experiment that helps to add a visual element to the science of sound. What causes sound? In this activity, your third grader will find the answer. He'll see it for himself!

  Extension: Older students could use this opportunity to practice making lab reports for fourth grade. Students could be introduced to the steps of the scientific process. This would incorporate writing as well as the use of science and technology if any part of the report is completed on the computer.

Students will plant seeds, watch them grow, measure them with nonstandard objects. In addition, students will describe the bean's growth in a journal and record the growth on a calendar.

  This game could benefit those students who are struggling with the concept of adding and taking away from a number and how that changes the value of something. Particularly helpful for ELL students who might lose understanding in the translation. One way to extend this game would be to include positive and negative numbers to demonstrate how negative numbers work.
