Social Studies is getting reviews!
Thinking about the Native American project in Social Studies? Many kids are showing good response to this assignment. It's creative and there's no written piece involved, one of the main reasons this project is a big hit with the kids. There's a canoe, dreamcatcher, travois, totem pole, loom and many other things to build. Or are you thinking about camouflage in Science? Here's an experiement to do. You'll need:
- A bush
- Some green clothes
- A friend, parent or someone
You'll do:
- Stand in front of the bush with the green clothes on, without the other person looking.
- Tell them to look.
- Ask them if they can see you.
- If they can, try again. If they can't, good job!
Here's a float and sink experiment:
You'll need:
-A tub of fizzy water like club soda
- Raisins
- Popcorn Kernels
- Sweet Tarts or Small Mints
You'll do:
- Fill the tub with fizzy water, like club soda.
- Put the raisins in, slowly, one at a time.
- Do they float or sink? What did they do?
- Put the popcorn kernels in, slowly, one at a time.
- Do they float or sink? What did they do?
- Put the sweet tarts or small mints in, slowly, one at a time.
- Do they float or sink? What did they do?
Whatever you're thinking about in Social Studies, we hope it's good, just like most everyone else.
