      Expansion: Have students record their hypothesis of what the different liquids will do before they perform the experiment, and then the results when they are finished.

      ESL: working in groups to perform experiments will help reinforce vocabulary and understanding.

    Density - or mass per volume - of a liquid is an important scientific concept that can be viewed with the naked eye. We see it all the time with oil and water. Oil has a different density than water so the two liquids do not mix. In this experiment your child will look at a number of liquids with different densities and compare them all to water. She'll build her science skills and learn one of the most fundamental scientific concepts she'll use for years to come.

    Here's a great idea for recycling those 2-liter soda bottles. Create a mini plant habitat with your kids and learn what it takes to make an ecosystem work. Explain to your children that they'll be providing the water and sun for the little world they're making-its survival is in their hands! Don't be surprised if feelings of eco-responsibility start sprouting right before your eyes.

      This activity should be introduced with a discussion about the properties of light.  The teacher could talk about why rainbows are all different colors or use a prism to show how light can be broken into all different colors.  A short video on the topic might work well for this topic as well, if you can find a good one.  By the end of the initial introduction, students should understand that all different colors of light, when combined, create white light.  Then students will be introduced to the experiment, write their predictions in their science notebooks, conduct the experiment, and record their findings. 4.NS.4 Perform investigations using appropriate tools and technologies that will extend the senses. 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. Like most experiments, student capabilities should be taken into consideration. If they cannot handle conducting this experiment on their own or with a small group, they can observe another student's or the teacher's experiment.

    This is a very hands-on activity that would be good as a supplement to a science lesson, but may not work so well on its own.  It could be used as a fun activity for family science or some other sort of science fair as well.  In this activity, students create colored disks and attach them to strings.  When spun rapidly, the colored disks appear to be white and have no color.  This would be a great introduction to learning about the properties of light, and how white light is really comprised of all the different colors.  A prism would be a helpful add-on to this lesson as well.

      STANDARDS:SCI.6.4.1 2010 Understand how to apply potential or kinetic energy to power a simple device. ADAPTATIONS: Students who have great hand, eye coordination can be paired with students who have great linguistic skills.  One student can build the airplane, and the other could make the observations of the different models.  Both students can share how they excel in each skill (kinesthic and logical) EXTENSION: Students can design their own airplane model and test which students designs are most efficient.
