DIY Slime: A Hands on Procedural Activity

Our slime making was a success! Today as a class we read through, step by step, how to make slime. Then students watched and helped me make 3 separate batches of slime. With each batch I explained, in detail, how to complete each step. We made sure to include important steps like cleaning up after ourselves and discussed how to play with slime appropriately (i.e. not getting it on our clothes, the carpet or in our hair.). Once our slime was all cleaned up we moved to an independent activity, writing our final procedural text. Students each received their own small bag of slime to take home.

Science Experiments: Forces!!

In collaboration with Mrs. Sloan's Gr.3 class, our gr.3's circulated through a variety of Science experiments. Each center involved a hands on experiment that focused on the different forces we encounter in everyday life. Take a look... Students had to use a variety of materials to create a boat and see how many dice their boat could hold before it sank. At another center, students were given a marble and a variety of materials. The challenge was to find a way to slow down a marble that they drop. Students were very creative! Students were also given a shoe box and a balloon, along with a variety of materials and had to see how far they could make their shoebox go.
