I ♥ Science

This month I have a bit of freedom with the science curriculum. The theme? Science Fair. I'm basically supposed to conduct a bunch of experiments with the kids. Our month-long project will be testing to see if plants will grow in the dark. Other experiments include discovering which dye colors are in M&M's, what the best penny cleaner is, and what preserves apples the longest. The kids are happy we're doing a bit more hands-on activities and they can't stop looking at the dirt cups on the bookshelf. I had some kids raise their hands and say they had never planted a seed and watched it grow. This is why I love teaching.
