As a summative project for our Matter science unit, students will be researching and developing a science experiment. Most students will be partnered. They will be responsible for bringing in required materials from home and conducting the experiment and creating a write-up using the scientific method. We will conduct a mini-science fair in which students can view their peers' experiments.
Experiments should be fairly simple and straightforward. For safety reasons, we cannot use boiling water or electrical currents, etc. I have encouraged students to keep the experiments kid-friendly with most materials to be found in a kitchen. The experiment should demonstrate a change in the property or state of matter.
The research for this experiment can start today. Students will be paired by the end of the week. Materials are due at school early next week.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
