Lesson Plan: 15 Amazing Water Tricks & Experiments
Grade Level: 6-8
Subject: Science
Duration: 60 minutes
Common Core Standards:
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.6-8.3: Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.6-8.2: Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures/experiments, or technical processes.
Lesson Objectives:
- Students will learn about various water tricks and experiments.
- Students will understand the scientific principles behind each experiment.
- Students will be able to follow precise procedures and document their observations and findings.
Materials:
- Plastic cups
- Water
- Food coloring
- Dish soap
- Paper towels
- Ice cubes
- Plastic bottles
- Balloons
- Straws
- Various small objects (coins, paper clips, etc.)
- Measuring cups
- Stopwatch or timer
Procedure:
1. Introduce the lesson by explaining the properties of water and its importance in everyday life.
2. Show a video or present images of water tricks and experiments, engaging students' curiosity.
3. Explain to the students that they will be conducting 15 different water tricks and experiments, one at a time.
4. Divide the students into small groups and provide each group with the necessary materials for the first experiment.
5. Demonstrate the first experiment, explaining the steps and scientific principles involved. For example, creating a rainbow in a cup by adding different colors of food coloring.
6. Instruct the students to follow the procedure precisely, making observations and documenting their findings in a notebook or worksheet.
7. Allow time for each group to conduct the experiment, guiding them through any challenges or questions they may have.
8. Once each group has completed the first experiment, gather as a whole class to discuss the results and the scientific principles behind each experiment.
9. Repeat steps 5-8 for the remaining experiments, allowing students to rotate materials and roles within their groups.
10. Encourage students to ask questions, make predictions, and draw conclusions based on their observations and findings.
11. At the end of the lesson, have students reflect on their favorite experiment and why they found it interesting or surprising.
Assessment:
- Evaluate students' understanding of the scientific principles behind each experiment through class discussions and their ability to document observations and findings.
- Monitor students' engagement and participation during the experiments.
Common Core Labels Correlations:
