      This activity should be done as an experiment in class.  This means that students should make a prediction about how the match will heat the air and affect the egg.  Students will write down their predictions in their science notebooks.  They should also draw pictures and make notes about what is happening in their science notebooks.  All students will be expected to participate in this activity and take notes, make predictions, draw pictures, and describe whether or not their predictions were correct.  Adaptations could be made for students with special needs by allowing them to express themselves more with pictures than words, and giving them additional time to complete their work. 5.NS.1 Make predictions and formulate testable questions 5.NS.7 Keep accurate records in a notebook during investigations and communicate findings to others using graphs, charts, maps, and models through oral and written reports.

    This experiment shows how air pressure works by heating up air to make an egg fit into a bottle that it should not be able to.  The egg is first placed on top of the bottle to show that it does not fit through (the bottle should be large enough for the egg to fit through for the experiment, though, so it should be tested ahead of time).  Then a match is dropped in the bottle, heating the air, and forcing the egg through the hole and into the bottle.  This is a fun way to teach about air pressure and the effects of heating air.

      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.
