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.

Our class mascot: Miss Moo At the beginning of the year I have her sitting around the classroom. She demonstrates good classroom behaviors. After a few weeks, I send her home with the star student. She stays at the student's home for one night. I only send her home Monday-Thursdays. I take her home Friday to give her a bath in the washer! Her take home pack consists of: 1. Miss Moo and her sleeping sack (a drawstring bag) 2. Her homework folder- inside is a laminated note with parent directions and a personalized photo book of Miss Moo) 3. A pencil 4. A spiral journal 5. A writing response sheet At home the student needs to complete the following tasks: 1. Read the story to Miss Moo 2. Write in the class journal 3. Finish the response sheet (asks the students to write and draw about Miss Moo's visit) The student brings Miss Moo back the next day. At morning meeting time we share what the student wrote about Miss Moo's visit. I ha...

Jellybean Taste Lab

Students randomly pick 6 jelly beans to sample. They bring the jelly beans to their desk with the worksheet and draw picture of each jellybean. Next they taste one jelly bean at a time. They make a happy face if they like it and the sad faces they don't. Students make a guess as to what it tastes like and then check their answers with the packaging from the jelly bean container. It was a blast!
