The kids will be asked to demonstrate a science experiment for the class in the month of May. Your child can work with a partner or individually. The demonstration DOES NOT NEED a display board. The experiment can be inside or outside the classroom. We have seen plenty of demonstrations in the field or parking lot. The things to remember are as follows: Tell the class what they are going to see; perform the experiment for the group; explain what happened; answer questions from the class; HAVE FUN!!!
This should be a low stress project. The goal is for the kids to have fun researching and demonstrating an experiment for the class. Please see Steve Spangler and Sick Science on youtube or science websites for kids while searching for ideas.
The kids should see me as soon as they find a topic and I will put it on the schedule. No duplicate experiments will be allowed in the classroom. The date for the experiments must be between May 6-17. I will need your child to notify me at least one day in advance when he/she is ready and I will schedule a time for us to see the demonstration the next day.
