The kids get a real sense of accomplishment when they get to play with something they've made themselves too.
I love how this literacy activity adds a math layer and guides the students through the procedure writing process.
This activity blends literacy, maths and science effortlessly.
Nothing beats real-world math and literacy!
When students make their own playdough, as well as learning all about “How to” writing, your students will learn important math skills too.
Learning to measure the ingredients is a hands-on strategy that helps young learners to grasp concepts like fractions and units too.
We always do this activity when we are learning about materials and their properties in science. It’s a great way for students to investigate chemistry concepts. As they measure and mix the ingredients for their very own playdough, students learn about the properties of the ingredients and see how matter changes state.
Harness the benefits of hands-on learning in your classroom today and turn procedure writing into a fun activity that will have your students engaged and learning all about procedure writing in no time.
