STEM Lesson: Chemical Reaction Snowman

Posted by Lori Blantz on Jan 25, 2020 1:41:23 PM

Happy Weekend-  I decided that I would start blogging STEM lesson plans a couple times a month to assist teachers. I know everyone is busy; so hopefully this will help out a bit. You might have to tweak my lesson plan based on grade level or program. It is never too young to complete STEM lessons in your classroom - just ask our HeadStart teacher Sue Bowers! She was teaching numbers, counting, and PROBABILITY with her 3 year olds last week using Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. Today's lesson comes from Teach Beside Me- Educate Creatively The lesson using trays, styrofoam (cups, balls, or beads), and pure acetone.

Challenge

To access the Google Slide for this lesson click on this link. Please create a journal based on the ability of your students. Remember, a journal can be a blank page that students draw or write their hypothesis or design plan. 

If you are interested in learning more about STEM in your classroom please reach out to lori_blantz@iu13.org or giovanna_chamberlain@iu13.org . Finally, check out the Blog contest on the right side- Essays due Feb 3rd. Good luck. 

 

Topics: STEM LESSON

Spotlight: 

My next items to win are brought to you from Educational Insights and focus on enhancing students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Both prizes are for ages 8 to adult. Kanoodle is great for visual learners. With this educational tool, challenge your students' brains to 200 logical thinking puzzles from basic to deviously difficult. SUPER SLEUTH is a detective-themed vocabulary game with 180+ mysteries to solve. Practice synonyms, antonyms, homophones, and multiple-meaning words as students draw cue cards and use the magnifying glass answer decoder.   Again both tools are perfect for enhancing problem-solving, critical thinking, and strategic thinking skills. To enter the contest you need to write a short 100 word or less essay explaining how you could use these tools in the classroom. Essays are due to Lori Blantz by February 3rd. Essays will be read and voted on by our ESCES Supervisors on February 5th. Winners will be notified by February 6th. Good Luck!  Please have the essays sent to lori_blantz@iu13.org 👍
