There is so much in this Gummy Bear Sacrifice demonstration! No fail, it is a memorable way to grab your students’ attention during the first or second week of school! It also fulfills the following important goals: students learn how to draw and label scientific diagrams students learn why it’s so important to follow lab safety rules students learn the names of some of the common pieces of lab equipment students gain the background knowledge necessary for understanding the science safety contract students are motivated to create their own safety rule poster I teach 8th grade physical science, and my classroom has gas and working bunsen burners. We also have the basic chemistry lab equipment that is necessary for this demonstration. So, I am writing this for a teacher who has access to these things in the classroom. Of course, this is way more exciting for students as a live demo, but if you don’t have gas or the other equipment necessary, you can certainly follow the rest of the instructions below and then show this demonstration as a video. (I found this one: Gummy Bear Demonstration) Step 1 Gather and set up these materials on a demonstration table or […]

Because sometimes science seems like magic.
Well, hello, y'all! I had so much fun creating robots with you during Robot Week (all videos from last week are now up and able for you to view on my YouTube channel!) that I'm excited to share the theme for this week: Zany Scientists! If you notice, I even decided to step it up a notch by combining art AND science. That's right, every day, I'll go LIVE on my Facebook and my Instagram and share with you both an art project and a science experiment! Because I know we are all trying to conserve the materials we have, you can either join in on the experiment or simply watch. Because the videos will be archived on my YouTube channel, you can always travel back in time and rewatch the fun. Again, I'm using simple supplies that I hope you can find around the home. But, if not, know that you can swap out supplies with whatever you have on hand. No paper? How about newspaper or old magazines? No glue? What about a glue stick? Art making is all about thinking outside the box which is exactly what we'll be doing this week! Because some of our experiments are a little messy, look around your house for a cookie sheet or some sort of tray with a lip to it. This will help to contain any mess you make. Also, consider doing this portion of the art making outside! It's good to get a little fresh air and keep them mess at bay. The best part about creating is having fun. All of these projects were created with fun in mind. Don't worry about being perfect because there is no such thing! Just focus on the fun, y'all! We'll end our week with some clay that you can use over and again! This should keep you busy and creating until next the following week. Mark your calendars, y'all! And I hope to see you there. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this FREE coloring sheet!
