Description
Celebrating Easter through science engages kids in egg-citing experiments, exploring the temperature of melting chocolate, and the chemical reactions involved in dying eggs. From studying the life cycle of carrots to understanding the science of eggshell strength, it fosters curiosity, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for both science and the holiday's significance.
This pack includes 8 fun Easter themed science experiments:
1. Eggshell Strength (strength of an eggshell sphere)
2. Easter Egg Grass Heads (plant growth)
3. Melting Chocolate (temperature of melting)
4. Growing Carrots (plant growth)
5. Egg Catapult (engineering and forces)
6. Rainbow Eggs (chemical reactions)
7. Jellybean Magic (solubility and diffusion)
8. Egg Drop Challenge (protection from forces)
PLUS a generic science investigation recording sheet
Each experiment comes with a Teacher Notes page that includes the learning intention behind the experiment, the success criteria, list of materials needed, procedure and teacher notes (to explain in simple terms the background information about the experiment). Student recording sheets are included as well as duplicated recording pages to cater for imperial and metric measurements.
I have intentional designed these experiments to use easily found materials at school or cheap items that can be purchased from a supermarket (such as carrots, eggs, grass seeds, jellybeans and food coloring).
Incorporating celebrations into science lessons is important for students because it makes learning more fun and interesting. When students learn about scientific concepts through celebrations like holidays or cultural events, they can see how science is connected to their own lives and the world around them. It helps them understand that science is not just something they study in textbooks, but it's something that affects them every day. Learning about different celebrations also teaches students about diversity and different cultures, which is important for building understanding and respect for others.
