Experiment #1
What will happen when I put raisins in a cup of sprite?
After you do the experiment, you will find out that the raisins DANCE! My students L.O.V.E this experiment and think that it is hilarious that the raisins dance up and down in the Sprite!

Experiment #2
What does our heart do for us?
We talked about the heart and it's purpose! Then, we observed our own pulse using a marshmallow and toothpick. What a great time to learn about the heart (Valentine's Day)!

Experiment #3

Is your school heading to the land of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) or STEAM (Same, but add art)? Last year, our school committed to becoming a STEM+A (plus Art) school. So far- I'm loving it!!! It has really got me thinking outside of the box for sure. I'm excited to share with you some ideas that I have with STEM in the future. For now, I've got some posters that I made for our 1st grade STEM+A Intro Day!
For our STEM+A Intro Day, we rotated all of the first graders (split into 5 groups) through our classrooms. Each teacher took on one of the letters and taught the students about the meaning of that letter and how we use it in every day life. We want our students to know that STEM is everywhere! Then, we did an activity based on the letter we had. I had Math and we played Pokemon Go Addition (totally made the game up...haha).
These posters are great for my students to refer back to.

I am excited to try the raisin experiment with my ELD class. I have to be very creative to keep them ALL engaged since they are a group of diverse learners regardless of language issues. This will be great to go along with using descriptive language in speaking and writing.
Thanks for sharing! As the school year winds down, I am finding it more difficult than EVER to keep my students engaged! These are fun lesson that will keep my students interested :o)
These are great Science exps. Thanks for sharing!
Love the pulse/heartbeat demo! Gotta try that one. Dancing Raisins is a staple at our Kinderscience groups--but we've had much better results using "Craisins", which are slightly less dense and really ZIP up and down. Thanks!!
I'm interested in doing the heartbeat experiment with my kids. It looks very interesting. I tried to open the file but it won't let me. Is there something special I should be doing?? Did anyone else have this issue??
Thanks,
Michelle
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
