Scientific Experiments: Family Bonding and Learning Fun! (Flex class)

During this FLEX (no live meetings) class students will learn about a science through a series of hands on experiments. The experiments will help the students better understand the science behind them since they will watch first hand the results. Be ready to get a little messy and have some fun. I highly recommend parent supervision for the class at all times. The class consists of four presentations, one each week, that I share through nearpod (no registration required). The presentations are easy to follow with detailed step-by-step instructions and helpful photos and videos. This a four week flex class (meaning there will be no live meetings). 

The experiments will come in a slide presentation with the list of all necessary ingredients and materials. I use Nearpod for a more interactive class.  The students will have a series of activities to complete during and at the end of each presentation. After each class, I will follow up with questions and we will post the results of our experiments in the Outschool classroom for discussion with the teacher and among the students. All questions, photos, and comments will be shared throughout the week using the Outschool classroom page for discussions.  I will also be available via email to answer questions and troubleshoot. 

The materials and ingredients required for every experiment will be posted the week before in the classroom. 

Here there is a list of the experiments we will do every week: 
Week 1:  Density gradient (we will learn about what is density and how it affects us)
Week 2: Icy orbs (we will learn about the chemical reaction that helps de-icing roads in the winter)
Week 3: Invisible ink (we will learn to speed up time using heat and lemon juice)*
Week 4: Erupting volcano (we will learn about the chemical reactions that take place in lava) 
*Requires the use of an oven, therefore parental supervision is strongly advised. 

Please join me as we have fun and learn the way the world works!
