⁣Lesson Plan: How to Make Glowing Fairy Jars

Grade Level: 4-6

Subject: Science

Duration: 60 minutes

Common Core Standards:
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.4.2: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.
- CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.4-6.3: Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments.

Lesson Objectives:
- Students will understand the concept of chemiluminescence and how it can be used to create glowing effects.
- Students will learn about the chemical reaction that occurs in glow sticks to produce light.
- Students will be able to explain the steps and principles involved in making glowing fairy jars.

Materials:
- Glass jars (mason jars, baby food jars, etc.)
- Glow sticks
- Glitter
- Scissors
- Tape
- Paintbrushes
- Mod Podge or clear glue
- Tissue paper or colored cellophane
- Fairy or silhouette templates (optional)
- Safety goggles
- Gloves

Procedure:
1. Begin the lesson by discussing the concept of chemiluminescence and how it produces light without heat.
2. Show the students examples of glowing fairy jars or use images/videos to familiarize them with the final product.
3. Explain to the students that they will be creating their own glowing fairy jars using glow sticks and other materials.
4. Distribute the materials to each student or group of students.
5. Instruct the students to put on safety goggles and gloves to ensure their safety while handling the glow sticks.
6. Carefully cut open a glow stick using scissors and pour the contents into the jar.
7. Add glitter to the jar for extra sparkle and magical effect.
8. Securely tape the lid of the jar to prevent any leakage.
9. Instruct the students to use a paintbrush to apply a layer of Mod Podge or clear glue to the outside of the jar.
10. Encourage the students to tear small pieces of tissue paper or colored cellophane and stick them onto the glue, creating a stained glass effect.
11. Allow the glue to dry completely, ensuring that the tissue paper or cellophane adheres to the jar.
12. Optional: Provide fairy or silhouette templates for students to trace onto the tissue paper or cellophane before sticking them onto the jar.
13. Once the glue is dry, remove the tape from the lid and close the jar tightly.
14. Turn off the lights and observe the glowing effect of the fairy jars.

Assessment:
- Observe students' engagement and participation during the activity.
- Evaluate students' understanding of the steps and principles involved in making glowing fairy jars through class discussions.
