Join me in these fun hands-on lessons where I will provide step-by-step instructions for completing our science experiments. Each week we will gather supplies, print our official science journals and practice the scientific method. Each lesson there are some simplified key terms that will cover with a hands-on approach. There is a team Kahoot quiz at the end of this course covering all of the key terms covered during our 4 weeks together. No account or personal information is required to play...

Week 1Lesson 1Germination and Sprouting SeedsWe will be observing our sprouting seeds over the course of about one week. Learn about the parts of a seed, the difference between a root and shoot and even eat some tasty fresh vegetables!Week 2Lesson 2Fishing For IceLet's talk about the states of matter, how salt affects temperature and what can or can't dissolve. Have fun trying to catch as many ice cubes as you can with only a string!Week 3Lesson 3Clouds and Cloud DoughLearn about the water cycle, three main types of clouds and make cloud dough!Week 4Lesson 4Chemistry Behind Bath BombsHave fun learning about neutralization while making bath bombs out of three simple ingredients.
Sprouting Seeds: • At least 2 different types of seeds • Examples: beans, snap peas, micro greens, sprouting seeds such as radish, broccoli, pea, chick pea and so on... • 3 glass jars or glass cups (anything you can see through for observations) • Paper towel Fishing For Ice: • Water • A clear jar or glass • Table salt, 1-2 tsp • Food Coloring (optional) • String • Handful of ice cubes Clouds and Cloud Dough: • 1 Cup Hair conditioner. Any kind, as long as it’s creamy and CHEAP. Don’t use the expensive stuff. Keep in mind that your play dough will smell like the conditioner, so use something that smells great. • 2 Cups Cornstarch AKA Cornflour • A bowl • Something to mix it with - A spoon, popsicle stick or spatula • Food Coloring (optional) Bath Bombs: • 1 cup baking soda • 1⁄4 cup citric acid (Can be found at Wal-Mart, Kroger, Amazon, etc.) • 1/2 teaspoon of water • Mold (Can be ice cube trays, muffin tin or the actual sphere molds, etc.) • A big bowl to mix everything in Fun Options • Tiny surprise toy • Kid-safe essential oil • Coloring (Can use Kool-Aid, mineral powders, soap dye, etc.) • Sprinkles • Bring extra ingredients if you want to make more
