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...

Week 1Lesson 1Hot Chocolate ScienceLearn how molecules speed up or slow down based on temperature. Test different items such as salt, pepper and our hot chocolate mix to see what can or cannot dissolve. Test our hot cocoa mix by attempting to dissolve it in cold, warm and hot water.Week 2Lesson 2Frozen Ice Powers and Instant Snowman3-in-1 supercooling experiment! Learn what water needs to build upon in order to freeze. Freeze an entire glass of water with the touch of your finger, freeze an entire bottle of water by slamming it down on the table and lastly, pour water out of a bottle to form an instant snowman!Week 3Lesson 32-in-1 Magic Skittles and Magic MilkWatch in amazement as our food coloring swirls in magical colors away from our q-tip and create a beautiful pattern with Skittles.Week 4Lesson 4The Ultimate Cookie Dunk!Learn about density and buoyancy in this delicious experiment. Using the scientific method we will learn what cookies will sink or float.
Hot Cocoa Science: • 3 Heat-proof mugs • Salt • 3 Packets of instant hot chocolate • Pepper • Water • 2 Clear glasses full of water • Stopwatch or timer • Mixing Spoon • 1 Measuring cup • Stopwatch or timer • Mixing Spoon Elsa’s Magic Touch & Instant Snowman: 3 Bottles Purified Water 1 Bottle of Purified Water 1 Clear Cup 1 Plate Crushed Ice Optional snowman decorations such as: carrot, sprinkles, googly eyes, twigs, straws, etc. Skittles and Magic Milk Supplies: • Skittles • Water (warm) • Food coloring • Cookie cutter (I got mine for $1 at Target) • Milk (Experiment works best with 2% and whole milk because they contain more fat) • Q-tip • Dish soap • Plate (Preferably white) ***You can also do these experiments separately without the cookie cutter. The Great Cookie Dunk Supplies: • Milk • Cookie • Observation cup • Self control - to not eat all of the cookies (Students each bring their favorite cookie – with many in class, we can record each others results)
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
No account or personal information required for our team Kahoot quiz. Learners will need help heating water for the hot chocolate science experiment. These experiments are not made to be eaten but are instead are made from common food and drink items. Use caution and common sense if you choose consume food items. For example, you might be able to eat Skittles but once they are mixed with dish soap then they are no longer safe to eat. Beware of any food items that you purchase because they might contain possible allergens such as nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs, or soy.
