US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Welcome science lovers! Science is the study of the world around us. Hands-on science is simply investigating the questions that matter to us by physically doing something to learn. We learn best by touching and experimenting with real stuff, rather than just reading, watching, or listening. Thus, let your child fuel their curiosity through a series of hands-on STEM/STEAM investigations. In this multi-day course, students will explore fascinating experiments! Students will learn the...
Students will be able to identify and demonstrate the scientific method, follow given steps to conduct their own experiments and understand why (the science behind chemical reactions).

That way, they can still learn the process of how to make it and they can also conduct this experiment after class. Additionally, the file is merely a welcome picture. NO file is needed for class.
Assist your child if needed with the experiments such as pouring or mixing ingredients.
