You need a fun, engaging, minimal set up and low cost lab? This is it! I really enjoy doing these labs and as I ask questions, watching when my students get that “ooohhh I get it now!”  This lab is all set up for you with the question "Which color M&M dissolves quicker". It has the steps broken down so it allows students to practice the steps. It provides observation questions for students to ponder. Then has a collaboration piece which does save time if your time is limited with not having to do repeated trials, although, I do emphasize the importance of having to repeat the experiment and get the same results.  I know you and your students will enjoy this!

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.
