In this 4 unit self-paced class, students will learn about 4 science concepts (buoyancy, solubility, magnetism, density) through simple science experiments. Part 2 can be completed before or after part 1!

Class experience

US Grade 1 - 3
4 lessons//4 Weeks
 Week 1
Lesson 1
Density
In this lesson, students will study to concept of density. They will learn how this relates to sinking and floating through a simple hands-on activity. Students will explore this concept further by creating density rainbows.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Buoyancy
In this lesson, students will study to concept of buoyancy. They will test out this concept with a basic exercise. Students will learn about different objects that are buoyant and will test this out with an orange experiment. Next, students will complete the Dancing Raisins experiment. The lesson will finish with a buoyancy sorting game.
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Solubility
In this lesson, students will study to concept of solubility. They will first learn the science terminology related to the lesson. Ms. Erin will explain a few optional science experiments that students can try out after class. Next, Ms. Erin will help the students set up their charts for the main experiment. Finally, students will complete the solubility experiment and record their data.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Magnetism
In this lesson, students will study to concept of magnetism. Students will learn all about how magnets work. Throughout the lesson, Ms. Erin will show the students exciting experiments they can try out using magnets at home. Ms. Erin will help the students set up their charts for the main experiment. Finally, students will complete the magnetism experiment and record their data.
This class is taught in English.
Students will learn about 4 science concepts (buoyancy, solubility, magnetism, density.)

*If you are missing any of these supplies, just let me know and we can come up with alternatives.
Unit 1: Density Rainbows
A tall glass
Different "liquids." Here are some examples. You do not need all of these, but I recommend using at least 3 or 4:

Honey
Maple syrup
Corn syrup
Dish soap
Water 
Juice
Oil
Vinegar
Rubbing alcohol

You may also like to bring food coloring, a spoon, and paper towels.

Unit 2: Buoyancy Dancing Raisins

A clear glass
Raisins
A clear carbonated drink (sprite, 7up, ginger ale, club soda)

Optional: 1 small orange (clementine/ tangerine)

Unit 3: Solubility Discovery

A small scoop of any of these items:

Sugar
Salt
Pepper
Baking soda/powder
Spices
Flour
Rice
Beans
Pasta
Vanilla
Food coloring

You will also need one cup and spoon per chosen item and towels in case there are any spills!

Unit 4: Magical Magnetism

Paper and a pencil
Magnets (fridge magnets, magnetic toys, etc...)
Paper clips
A metal coin
A few little toys (they don't have to be magnetic.)
Pipecleaners (if you have. No need to buy any)
Scissors
A clear cup/jar
Water
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Some students may need help conducting the science experiments.
