One great activity that caught my interest was the Parachute Drop. There are instructions for students to create their own parachute and how to perform the activity. After testing the experiment, the results can be entered onto the website and compared with results that other students had.An experiment that I have heard of and performed before, but forgot how to make was Oobleck. This gooey green substance is used quite often in science classes to perform experiments. The website provides directions to make Oobleck, and questions to ask when investigating it's characteristics. For those of you who have never experimented with Oobleck, use the link provided at the top to create your own with your class, or watch this short video to see how it's done!
I hope these links help you. I know I will surely be using this science website in my classroom. Thanks for reading!
I really like the way you showed two great activities that you had found and how you plan to use them! It shows how able you are with the technology that you are using. The screenshot was used very efficiently and looks fantastic! Keep up the good work and your positive attitude! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, I really liked how you set up your post. It was neat and organized, and I could find information easily. Second, the activity, Oobleck, that you posted is so much fun to make! I used it for one of my science projects in middle school! Anyways, I really like how you linked Paula Naugle's Twitter page from your post because it is now easier for the reader to check out her tweets and see what she has to say.
