Today was my second presentation with Mrs. Negrette's class. I plan on doing some sort of activity with each of the four letters of STEM to hopefully get them interested in the topic!
Over the weekend I prepared thirty bottles of oil, and brought them to her class so we could do the oil and water experiment. When I got there, my mentor helped me to fill the kids' bottles with one of four colors of water, whichever they chose. (They also got to choose if they wanted a little pinch of confetti in theirs!) Once the bottles were full with water and oil, we shook them up and looked at them. I asked the kids what they thought was happening, then we talked about why it really was happening. I then had them label and color two empty water bottle templates so they could see what was happening. I had fun, the kids had fun, and they seemed to learn a lot! Overall a good day!
