Potions Class - STEM with a Wizardy Twist

Created by

Includes three short STEM activities (elephant toothpaste, unpoppable bubbles, and slime) presented as wizards potions. It includes the experiment (potion), a short explanation about the science, and links to longer explanations or alternative ways to conduct the experiment. These would be good for short fun STEM experiments or to add some flair to those reading Harry Potter or other book that included wizards. It would also be fun to add some science near Halloween.

Candy Corn Experiment

Created by

Connecting the Dots Learning

This is a small experiment that can be done for Halloween fun! All you need is water, oil, vinegar, jars (or even small dixie cups), and candy corn! The lab sheet is made for 3-6 graders but you can just have lower level students make their Hypotheses and findings in their journals or extra sheet of paper. They can even draw pictures of what they observe instead of writing. I set up the writing portion with indentations so it is easy for the students to recognize how many paragraphs needed

Present simple - matching

Created by

Kirsten Mayr

This easy and quick activity helps students learn and reinforce a basic grammar detail: the -s in the 3rd person singular (present simple). Cut out and laminate the worksheet. Students decide between two possible sentence endings by matching the beginning and one ending with a marker pen. The teacher checks the outcome and speaks with the student about his/her work, being thus able also to comment about possible mistakes.
