Science Fun Day

Rainfall Simulator

Please come at your assigned times. Start the sunscreen experiment and pick up snack on the way back to your classroom.
 

 

Make-and-Take Station

 

1.  Why do things Glow?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2vxb9YsfMk

 

2.  Experiment with sunscreen and black construction paper.
Why does sunscreen Work?
 

Materials

• Dark-colored construction paper
• Sunblock with sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher
• A sunny day

Directions

1. Fold the paper in half. You’ll leave one side alone and put sunblock on the other side.
2. Children can use their fingers to spread sunscreen on one side of the paper. If they’d like to make designs, that’s fine.
3. Now leave the paper in a sunny spot outside for a few hours. (Don’t forget to wash the sunscreen off your hands.)
4. After a few hours, observe the paper. What happened to the side without sunscreen? Is it still dark-colored? How is the side with sunscreen different from the side without sunscreen?

 
 

3.  Create a Bracelet with beads that contains glow in the dark beads and beads that react with sunlight.


4.  Plant seeds if an additional activity is needed.

 

Scavenger Hunt

1.  Talk with students about using their senses (Sight, Hearing, Smell, Touch and Taste) to observe things around them.

2.  Pass out the Scavenger Hunt form.

3. Explore the Learning Center and the Front lawn of the school for items.

 

Recycling Basketball

1.  Watch the Steve Trash Video for Reduce, Reuse and Recycle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZpkyAMjeMo

2. Think about things that we can recycle at home.  Ask students to give an example.

3.  Let the students take turns shooting hoops.
