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.

Layering Liquids: Explore Density Science | Activity | Education.com - 1 views
-
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.

dents read their riddles and invite volunteers to guess the object. For example, a student might say: “What is solid, wooden, tall and attached to our wall?” Encourage students to think about how the objects are alike and different from each other.
-
-
ADAPTATIONS: Have students use their 5 senses to access multiple intelligences during observation of the solids, liquids, and gasses. EXTENSION: Split the students into pairs and have the students brain storm other liquids, solids, and gasses. Have students draw pictures that associate with what they have come up with, display in the classroom.

Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).1 Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.2

Activity is great to add real world context to ELL and low English speaking students. Provides a real world context for students to start thinking about measurement in. Brings items from the household into the classroom. Extend the activity by introducing the concept of adding two different measurements (1/4 + 3/4) together to make one whole.

CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale

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.

5.DP.3 Document the design throughout the entire design process. 5.DP.4 Select a solution to the need or problem.

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.

CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.A.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps.

This activity is great for all learners because it takes an abstract concept like mass (weight) and provides a visual for students to think about, in terms of 1 crayon equals 2 erasers in mass, or 2 crayons equal 1 pencil in length). It provides opportunities for ELL and low English speaking students to work with measurement on terms they are familiar with. It could be extended by switching to standard units of measurement such as inches, centimeters, or grams.

"Here's an experiment using simple household stuff to replicate discoveries that were first made centuries ago by the great Italian scientist, Allessandro Volta (if the last name "sparks" a memory of a certain electrical term, you're right!). This is a great way to get even the most reluctant of scientists excited about electricity science! Don't worry-there are no explosions in this experiment; but you can expect some delightfully "shocking" results."
