Science bulletin board

Gross Science Labs

I have a bulletin board in my classroom which I have turned into an investigative science center. All materials for the lab are at the station. Students conduct the investigation alone and record their results. I try to change my science board monthly.

1. Sweet Treats Candy Lab

Using Halloween candy, students made predictions and observations on wether their candy would sink or float. Students recorded data and reported their results after everyone finished.

2. Buggy Friends Lab

Students researched insects and recorded facts and details. The final project was an informative writing with a crayon resist watercolor picture.

3. Marble Race

This has been such a fun investigation! Each student constructs a track and preforms trial runs. I placed magnets on the back of foam tubes which are cut in half. This allows the students the to freely move the track pieces around. The goal is to use all the track pieces and have the longest recorded time for your marble to travel down the track.

Taste Lab

The 5 Senses Today was a great day for science! I put my class to work as taste testers. We sampled pickle juice, lime juice, candy, honey, potato chips and pretzels. I was surprised to see many students enjoying the pickle juice. The faces the students made after sampling the lime juice was just precious and hilarious :) We tasted foods and drinks that were sweet, sour and salty The workstation consisted of food and drink samples and a data collecting sheet
