Week of May 18th, 2020

The read-aloud this week helps students understand: What IS Science? Science includes so many things and this books shows that it is all around us. 




Science is everywhere and causes many amazing things-- including the very cool results in this activity where crystals form on an object hanging in a solution of borax and water. In this activity, they used pipe cleaners to form letters of the child's name and then hung them in the solution overnight. It does require some materials you may not ordinarily have around the house. I would like to try this with my own kids, but I will have to pick up some borax the next time I am out. Some people do, however, have this material in their households, so if you are one of those people, you may want to check this out!
