Students will learn about and create their own hypothesis and predictions as we experiment with candy corn. We will put candy corn in 5 different liquids and predict what will happen. While our candy corn is brewing, we will make our own edible playdoh! While we are making play doh we will learn about chemical and physical change. We will then look back at our candy corn to see if our hypothesis and predictions were right! Students will get to interact with one another and show everyone how their own experiments turned out! Everyone's experiment might turn out differently! I can't wait for you to visit my scientist lab!
Learning Goals
Students will understand what is a hypothesis how to make a hypothesis and predictions. Students will use candy corn to experiment and make their own playdoh.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Utah Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Hello! My name is Natalie! I am a former Special Education Resource Teacher of 4 years. I have taught grades K-6 reading, writing and math small groups. I taught students with learning disabilities for 30 to 45 minutes a day, then they would go back to their homeroom class.
I love teaching students new strategies to solve problems. Everyone learns differently and everyone can absolutely learn and succeed. I love seeing my students finally understand math watch their confidence grow and have a blast learning! I love helping students learn to use the different tools in their tool box to solve a math problem. There are multiple ways a problem can be solved. I love teaching different strategies because one will work for students over the other.
Math can be viewed as hard, boring and daunting. It is my goal to make math fun, have students feel successful and tackle a math problem with confidence!
