      This activity could be adapted for English Language learners by creating an instructional guide on how to set up the still that uses pictures and illustrations heavily.  This way, if the students have difficulty understanding spoken English, they can use the direction handout to figure out  5.NS.4 Perform investigations using appropriate tools and technologies that will extend the senses. 5.NS.3 Plan and carry out investigations-often over a period of several lessons-as a class, in small groups or independently.

    This activity shows students how to make fresh water from salt water. Some sort of instruction about why fresh water is so important to life should be included as well, but this activity is a nice add-on to regular life science or earth science lessons because it allows students to see science at work.  This activity is not very educational without discussions of the differences between salt and fresh water and the content of earth's water.

      Expansion: The maple syrup part of this will be a little difficult with a stove in a classroom, but experiment with different types of liquids or solids.  Salt-water might be an interesting long-term experiment for changing a liquid to a solid.  That, or be very cautious how this is done.

    On your mark, get set, pour! Your first grader has probably already noticed that some liquids, such as pancake syrup, pour slower than liquids like water. While this topic is always fun (and a little sticky) to explore in the kitchen or at mealtimes, it's good first grade science, too. In fact, a common core topic in early elementary school science is the difference between solid and liquid states of matter. And you don't need any fancy lab equipment to learn about it. Use the activity below to help your budding scientist become familiar with the properties of liquids and solids.
