There is nothing more exciting than seeing real science in action. During this period of the Covid -19 Pandemic students have spent a lot of time looking at screens. These science and math tools will bring science to life for my students whether it be in my classroom or via a Zoom call. In 4th grade we teach about waves and energy transfer, what better way to teach these than with physical tools that demonstrate these phenomena. The "Wave Demonstration Kit" and the "Wave Demonstration Apparatus" are great observable tools that my students can physically manipulate. This will lead to questioning, and investigation. We will easily be able to find real world examples of these physical science phenomena. These tools will bring these science concepts to life for them. Energy transfer is so much fun to explore! One of my favorite ways to show energy transfer is by manipulating a Newton's Cradle. It is so fascinating to see that when you pull two ball away and let them go, two balls from the opposite side extend out. Many questions will arise. After many different explorations, my students will construct explanations as to why energy can be transferred this way. I am so excited about the group competition set of the math game "24." The students have to find as many ways to use specific given numbers to reach the number 24, by adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. My class loves competition. I can feel the excitement just thinking about it as they use their mental math capabilities to solve the problem. I know they will get faster and better at this skill as they compete. These group explorations and activities foster friendship, fun and learning.
