I love using Science experiments in the classroom. Not only do experiments keep the students engaged it is also so easy to incorporate Math, Reading and Language Arts. Math can be incorporated through data collection, charts, graphs, adding subtracting, multiplying and dividing results/data. Reading can be incorporated simply by reading an informational book or article about the topic of the experiment or a story that has something to do with the topic. Language Arts is also easy to incorporate by having the students write about their predictions of what will happen in the experiment, what they did or took place during the experiment, explanation of the results or how they might change the experiment to achieve a similar or different result. The options are limitless with science. Please post a comment of a simple experiment we may be able to perform in out elementary school classroom.
