Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
Students make predictions, measure liquids, observe, time the dissolving process, and record their findings. Students test their theories in a hands-on, age-appropriate and fun-filled seasonal lesson. Class discussion will also include topics density of liquids and buoyancy of candy-does one float, another sink? The students use their creativity and put their reasoning skills to practice. Students through trial and error will allow their potential to unfold. Students scientific reasoning will be amazing, mindset will shift, problems will be solved, and thinking will be dynamic. 
Students will receive feedback and encouragement during the class.
*Slides will be used to accompany the class

Learning Goals

Great experimental class! This is a wonderful, hands-on experiment. Students make predictions, measure liquids, observe, time the dissolving process, and record their findings. Students test their theories in a hands-on, age-appropriate and fun-filled seasonal lesson.
