Class Experience

In this ongoing club we will perform a different science experiment each week. Topics stand alone so students can join at any time. We will also play a science kahoot game to review what we learned at the end of each class. I teach in an interactive way! I love involving students in discussion! I will post extra learning videos and all the supplies needed for the experiments in the classroom every week.

Week of June 2nd : CLOUD IN A JAR - the water cycle
Week of June 9th: BLOW UP A BALLOON WITH SCIENCE - endothermic/chemical reaction

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Students may need parental supervision for our science experiments each week. We will use a Kahoot game each week to review. Students can use the kahoot app downloaded to a phone or tablet or just go to kahoot.it in a web browser with a parents help to play the game. Students will always have the option of playing on a team with the teacher instead of signing into the game.
