Hands on Science Experiments
In this 50 minute class students will learn the basics of how heat affects the movement of molecules using basic items from the kitchen. Each student will preform their own experiment as well as a see a demonstration.
What's included
1 live meeting
50 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Students will conduct their own experiment using basic kitchen supplies to answer the following question "Do molecules move faster when they are cold or when they are hot?" Each student will form their own hypothesis and we will work through the scientific method to find the answer. Everyone will be asked to conduct their own experiment however there will also be a demonstration if students choose not to conduct their own experiment. I will teach by demonstrating each step of the scientific method and demonstrating the experiment. Science is fun and exciting and I can't wait to share my knowledge with your students.
Learning Goals
Students will discover how temperature affects molecules as they learn what the scientific method is and the basics of each step within the scientific method. Everyone will make a hypothesis and discover if it is correct or not by collecting and analyzing data.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will be asked to use hot water during the experiment. Caution should be taken with younger students.
