      Expansion: Have students predict what will happen to the paperclips when soap is added before they do it, then compare their predictions to their results.  Have them record and discuss their findings.

      These experiments should be conducted with a science notebook so students make predictions and observations, draw pictures, and record their findings. They are fun experiments to do in class, but they should be tied into a lesson about why the things happen in the experiment.  Like I have been noting in many of my science lesson activities, know your students and their capabilities and make sure that they understand what is going on.  Lessons that involve the student observing and note-taking in a science journal allow them to work at their own pace and according to their own abilities, so the nature of the assignment means that it is already adapted for all different learners. 5.NS.1 Make predictions and formulate testable questions. 5.NS.3 Plan and carry out investigations-often over a period of several lessons-as a class, in small groups or independently.

      2.4.3 Identify a need and design a simple tool to meet that need.

    Learn about yeast with this fun science experiment!  Students will love this activity because it is very hands on, and they love to see slimy liquids that bubble and grow.  This would grab their attention and allow them to make observations and predictions about what is happening to the yeast, and then they can test those predictions by experimenting with ratios of yeast to other ingredients.  I did the balloon activity with my first graders and they loved it!  But it should really be reinforced with a lesson about why what is happening is going on, otherwise it is just something cool to see.

      Expansion: This experiement could be expanded to fulfill all of the sixth grade nature of science standards with the addition of predictions, deliberate recording of observations, multiple tests, analysis and presentation of findings.  It could be expanded into a unit-long project.

      ESL: Cooperative learning and recording of data will help reinforce student understanding.  Full use of science procedures will reinforce the scientific method.

    Yeast are one-celled fungi that multiply by "budding". They multiply quickly, and as they grow they produce carbon dioxide. Because of this special attribute, yeast is very important in baking and fermenting-we wouldn't have bread without it! In this simple experiment, you'll get to know this fascinating micro-organism, learning what it likes to eat and just how gassy it can get.

      Expansion: In order to cover several other Nature of Science, students could be required to make predictions, record their results in a log, test their predictions through multiple tries, and then analyze the results.

      ESL: Students would be able to practice using the American standard measuring system with cooking, and have that reinforced.

    Next time you bake a cake, consider this. The cake dough is not really a cake, but when it's heated in the oven, a chemical reaction occurs and new bonds are formed. How does heat change things? When it comes to heat changing a chemical reaction, there are two types. One is "exothermic," a reaction that produces heat, and the other is "endothermic," a reaction that takes heat in. When you make a cake, you a producing an endothermic chemical reaction which changes batter to baked!
