Have you ever seen an elephant brush their teeth? What about a creating "toothpaste" for an elephant? In this class, learners will participate in an Elephant Toothpaste science experiment. 1️⃣ The first part of class will be to double check our materials/ingredients needed to put on the show. 2️⃣ Once learners check their list of items, the teacher will go over what the term 'hypothesis' means through thoughtful questions and engagement with every learner. This will allow everyone the chance to provide an educated guess, but also to listen to their peers and other guesses that can arise. 3️⃣ The teacher will then walk learners step-by-step through the science experiment process. As learners visualize their experiment, Teacher Jessica will explain what materials caused the reaction for the elephant toothpaste to erupt out of its bottle (chemical reactions). I cannot wait to meet your little scientist in the making! The materials needed for this experiment will be posted down below under the 'Supply List' tab.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of how certain ingredients found at home (or in a lab) can create chemical reactions.

Welcome! My name is Jessica (Teacher Jessica). I have my Master's in Elementary Education (multiple subjects)! I have taught in the 6th grade classroom, and as of the last four years I have been teaching here on Outschool!
My teaching experience has given me the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure all students can thrive inside and outside of the classroom. Being an elementary school teacher, I enjoy and have fun teaching in all areas; as you may notice with my class listings I enjoy doing a little bit of everything!
I love to enhance learning development, and to watch each student grow individually. I look forward to meeting your child!
Aside from work life, I have a husband and three little ones! Outside of teaching, we love to be outside in nature, reading is life, and family time is everything!Reviews
