Today was the second time I had met with Mrs. Chin's class. Yesterday I gave them a power point presentation and did STEM Bingo with them, and told them I would be coming back today to do a science experiment and engineering project with them.
The science experiment was related to density. I brought a bowl full of water, and many miscellaneous objects. before we started, I discussed the Scientific Method with them, and explained what a hypothesis was. Mrs. Chin made a "Sink or Float" chart, and we went through each object to see which they thought was going to float or sink, then we tested the kids' hypotheses. Once we finished the science experiment, I showed them a couple videos regarding engineering and how planes work, then made paper airplanes. We then took them outside, and saw which ones worked the best, which ones flew the farthest, and why they thought so.
Always a fun time with the kids!
*I had a parent take pictures throughout my visit, however, she never sent me the pictures taken! :(
