After studying the water cycle students had an opportunity to see how clouds and water work together.
This easy experiment appeals to visual learners and stayed on our window for weeks -
hopefully it will stay in their minds forever!
Mixing Science and Art - does it get any better than that?
It seemed rather boring when the curriculum suggested this simple Science experiment. Where was the flash of excitement? This was simply looking through leaf debris and seeing what we could find: bugs, decaying leaves, sticks, rocks, etc. Students loved this exercise...perhaps it was because we seldom allow our children to pick up dirt and explore its content. They may have even enjoyed this more than some of our "in-your-face" experiments!
The power of visualization at work!
Not only do Science experiments give students an opportunity to observe, make predictions, and use their hands... they give students opportunities to work together as a group.
Building a volcano...
