Ocean Exploration: Interactive Unit Study

*This is a complete list of supplies for this semester. In the classroom, there will be amazon links if students would like to purchase certain tools to use, such as pipettes. I will post in the classroom each week prior to the lesson the supplies needed. 

-red cabbage
-a knife and cutting board
-pot
-water
-measuring cup
-3 test tubes OR clear glasses for the visual baseline 
-eye droppers (Sometimes I use the small medicine syringes, if you can't get the eye droppers. You can always just use a spoon as well :)
-Choose several of these household items to test (you don't have to bring them all- just which ones you'd like to test!): bleach, orange juice, salt, pickle juice, shampoo, tomato juice, window cleaner)
-table salt
-yellow, blue, and red food coloring
-room temperature, ice-cold, and hot water 
-1 clear rectangular container (I usually use a clear tupperware type container. You'll want it to be clear so that you can see the reactions inside)

-1 measuring cup
-1 mixing spoon 
-An aquarium or 5 gallon bucket (filled with water) 
-Toothpicks
