Less than $5 Elementary School Basic Principles Resources (by date, oldest first)

FOUR "mini" labs -or shortened activities- to reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period. They are also activities that are safe for use in the classroom and do not have to be done in a lab or with any specialty equipment or materials. I often use these demonstrations to lead into new content, that way as we cover material I can refer back to the things that my students have experienced first hand.

This particular lab focuses on introducing the following concepts:

Matter Takes Up Space

Two Substances Form a Mixture

Density and Volume

Change of State

(Indirectly the Properties of Matter)

Includes: teacher information, materials list, procedures, helpful tips for facilitating the activities and student handouts/lab sheets

Materials needed for these Mini Labs:

Balloons, Cups, Water, Sugar, Clay, Small Bowls, Paper Towels, Stopwatch, Chocolate Coated Candies

Need an activity that is engaging, hands on, requires critical thinking and peer collaboration? THIS IS IT! This is a great lab that utilizes all of these and would be great for an observation! This lab will walk through the scientific method steps, research and analyze the properties of water and other liquids. Students can see how the molecules of each liquid will react with substances. Once the experiment is completed and the students have their results, they collaborate with two other groups and record their results to compare. This eliminates having to do the experiment more than once, although I do emphasize that in an experiment, results need to be able to be repeated for it to be considered proven.

This can be used as an introductory lab for water properties for older students.

The Quotes page challenges students to write what the quote means to them. The Great Americans Series is available individually or in bundles, making great bell work. An Answer Key is provided with each worksheet.

Use this hands-on scientific method activity during a matter unit, or as a fun science center. Perfect for some fun after break!

You will need:

- a clear jar (such as a mason jar)
