Via inquiry, discover how electromagnets work and what can be done to enhance their effectiveness. Also discover applications of electromagnetic knowledge. All investigations are hands and we will manipulate a virtual electromagnet. In addition to process skills being covered, TEKS 4.6B and 4.6C will be investigated. This session is designed for grades 4 and 5.
What happens to water when it gains heat? What happens to water when it loses heat? How can the formation of ice break big rocks into small rocks? Why do lakes turn over in the spring and fall? Why does ice float? These are some of the questions that will be investigated using hands on activities. In addition to process skills being covered, TEKS 4.5A, 4.5B, 4.5C, and 4.8B will be investigated. This session is designed for grades 4 and 5.
Pint-Sized Science emphasizes the importance of hands on science for young children. We will explore how to use simple materials to do science in the classroom. Join us to explore spinning eggs, echolocation, how many holes, solar system roll out and more. The foundations of an interest and love of science are best built when children are young, using their natural inclinations to explore and experiment in their environments. Teachers can learn some new activities, refresh ideas, and share their experiences with others taking science in their classrooms to another level.
