科学者のように考える方法

In this 4-day camp, we discuss four things that good scientists do:  (1) Ask questions; (2) Make observations; (3) Make predictions; (4) Record their work.  Students will practice these four behaviors as they experiment with exciting chemical reactions and engineering challenges, using common, everyday objects you can find at home.  Through interactive slideshows, videos, books, and simple experiments, students will explore what "science" is, and will be encouraged to think like scientists.  

In each class, I will 
 -Introduce the topic (5-10 minutes)
 -Read a short story or watch a video about a scientist (15-20 minutes)
 -Perform an experiment (15-25 minutes)
