    Simple lesson to review simple machines.  It's tagged for 3rd - 5th grade, but could work for a quick review.  It has a card sort activity ready to go.  The agricultural examples might not be 100% relevant to all kids, but still useful.

Sweet Crystal Science Project - HowStuffWorks - 3 views

  •  
    i tried this demo for the first time this year. It didn't work perfectly but it really gave the students a visual of the formation of minerals. I would suggest marking the water level on the jar when you first set it up so they can really grasp how much has evaporated by the end. I let mine sit for almost 3 weeks but crystals were forming within 3 days.
