Class Experience

Watery Wizardry
Students will investigate the elixir of life – water.  This class will focus on the chemical properties of water including density, polarity, and solubility.  Several hands-on activities will be conducted written as wizardry concoctions to help bring out the inner alchemist in each student.  The activities include witches brew and swirling spirits.  Teacher will guide the students through the investigations to ensure safety and connectivity to the chemistry concepts.  Students...

Watery Wizardry
1.  Students will review the unique properties of water including density, polarity, and solubility.
2.  Students will prepare a chemical reaction highlighting the concept of density and solubility.
3.  Students will explore the hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature of soap in a colorful, swirling experiment.

As a chemistry teacher for the last 23 years, I have always found that students learn better through application.  Providing an enriching environment helps hook the student while teaching underlying chemistry concepts.

Watery Wizardry
Teacher will provide a digital copy of the watery wizardry activities.  To complete the hands-on component during the live session, students will need water, food dye (various colors), vegetable oil, one effervescent antacid pain-relief tablet (alka-seltzer), whole milk, liquid dish soap, clear cup (or test tube), plate, and cotton swabs.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Students will be assessed via chats and reflection assignments.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

 Minimal parental assistance needed during class.
