Students will encouraged to chime in with what they know and any questions that they may have. Kids will interact with each other and myself throughout the lesson as we then dive into making...
Students will learn to fill out a lab report and the basic steps of the scientific method. They will be able to define a polymer and a monomer. They will also be able to understand basic chemical reactions.
There will be no homework for this class.
Lab observation reports will be uploaded to the classroom. Slime ingredients are: Glue Baking Soda Contact Solution Food Coloring in purple, blue, and pink Fun Add-Ins: Fine Glitter Star Glitter Beads
Learner progress is assessed informally. The students ability to repeat information learned during the class and answer questions will be a large portion of the assessment of progress.
