Science Materials Request
Shortly, students will begin their next two Science Units: Testing Materials and Designs in conjunction with Building With A Variety Of Materials. For the months of February, March, and April students will participate in collaborative, hands-on Science activities that will involve designing and building various structures. In order to make these activities a success I am hoping that parents will be able to donate the following items:
- Cardboard
- Styrofoam
- Cardboard and plastic tubes of various sizes
- Jars and Lids
- String, yarn, twine, ribbon, pipe cleaners
- Buttons
- Thread spools
- Fabric
- Plastic bags, zip locks
- Dowels
- Plastic containers
- Marbles
- Old CD’s
- Boxes of various sizes from food items – crackers, cereal, oatmeal, cookies, etc…
Thank-you in advance!

Question: Students have been asked to think like Scientists and reflect on our Kazoo Experiment yesterday. We discussed if the experiment was fair, and consistent. We talked about how when we blew into the kazoos that our breath wasn’t the same each time. They have been asked to think of a way that we could make the experiment fair and consistent. Is there something other than our mouths that we could use? Etc… We will be discussing this tomorrow.
