getting physical with atoms

To learn about atomic particles and their charges, we played a very physical game. Protons add a point. Neurons are neutral. Electrons subtract a point. Teams had to strategize about how to get the highest overall point value. Oh, and we played boys vs. girls!

3rd graders learn to carefully control variables.

They only change one variable at a time.

5th graders contrast diffusion through the water with diffusion through the air.

Smelling molecules as they diffuse, and watching color diffuse in water.
