Students will work observe as two a broom with a rope tied on it is placed on top of two chairs. A cup of paint tied to the rope will be released, causing paint to spill on a canvas. The cup swings back and forth due to gravity, but the friction causes it to eventually stop. The students should also note that when the cup is gently released, it does not move as fast or far, however, when the cup is pushed, more paint will fly out of the cup.

This activity allows students to be creative and choose their own colors. This also teaches about chemical reactions. When the Alka-Seltzer tablets are placed in the paint and tipped upside down, the canister will "explode," causing the paint to splatter over the canvas. Students could also predict how long they think it will take to explode or how far the paint will go.]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723939826 Build Famous Landmarks racmonk https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940013 Playdough to Plato

This activity requires students to build famous landmarks using legos. It calls out their creative sides to build the Eiffel Tower. Each student will need to look at the shape of the landmark and determine its characteristics. They will also need to be able to count the number of legos they put on each side, in order to make them even.]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940013 Build a Straw Roller Coaster! racmonk https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940028 Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls

This activity could be used for younger students or older students for fun. For younger students, they would be required to count the number of straws on each side, and making sure there are always two parallel with one another. It could also be used to discuss lengths and sizes. ]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940028 Rainbow Jar racmonk https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940064 Playdough to Plato

Each liquid has different qualities. Pouring each liquid in a jar will create a kind of rainbow. While each item is liquid, some a higher density, causing them to sink, and some have a lower density, causing them to float. Along with density, each item has a different color, smell, and sometimes feel, depending on if one is sticky, greasy, or just wet.

Each student would create their own water cycle bag by drawing weather patterns on the front that they could take home, or we could view it at school together. Some weather  patterns could be explained through the use of the bag. When the bag and water get warm, the water evaporates. When it cools, it forms a cloud. When the cloud can no longer hold water, it falls like rain. ]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940077 Amazing Hot and Cold Water Density Experiment racmonk https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940108 STEAMsational

This activity teaches about liquid density and other characteristics. It could also be used to teach about making predictions. Each liquid will have food coloring mixed in it to show the sinking and rising of the liquids. A liquid with a higher density will sink, and a liquid with a lower density will rise.]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940108 EASY PLANET SOLAR SYSTEM SLIME RECIPE racmonk https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940130 STEAMsational

It's no surprise to say that slime is very popular with students. Most or all would enjoy an activity to create slime. This activity could teach students about the solar system. Each planet has different characteristics, and each has a different placement to the Sun. ]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940130 Design a Light-Up Unicorn Horn Craft with Squishy Circuits racmonk https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940186 STEAMsational

Unicorns Playdough are two popular items with children. Combining the two to create a light up unicorn would make students very happy. When connected to a circuit, the unicorn lights up. This could teach students to explore and experiment with something on their own to figure out how it works. This activity also allows them to show their creative sides when designing their own unicorns. ]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940186 How to Make a Unicorn Rainbow Scribble Bot racmonk https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940192 STEAMsational

Once again, some children love unicorns. Making a unicorn robot that draws would be super fun! The children could take turns with a robot to create a drawing of their own. Then, they could look at the unicorn to determine why it works. What happens if one piece is removed?]]> 2020-09-07 02:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/racmonk/ct3iwl2mszpe4u6r/wish/723940192
