Add four ounces liquid corn starch and stir until mixed. First, mix four ounces of glue, three ounces of water, and a few drops of food coloring into a container.
Petri dishes (enough for each partner group)īegin by mixing together slime using your favorite recipe or by following these steps. Straight erasers or an equivalent object (enough so each group has several). Styrofoam balls (white and enough so each group has several). Microscope (a few per class is ideal, though this is also optional). They will observe how blood looks different under a microscope than under their eye. In this activity, students will learn what the components of blood are. And this time of year, blood comes to mind more often with the entrance of vampires, goblins, and other spooky creatures. The sight of blood may either make you squeamish or fascinate you. The options for creativity are endless, and students are sure to love this hands-on, uncanny, science activity. Rate the monsters based on best design, best physics monster that showcased work, and most spooky. The criteria for the student’s monster (which can be adapted to your choosing) are that it must be able to have movement, work, in some way.Ĭreate other requirements for students such as the monster must include a cupcake liner, beads, googly eyes, or pipe cleaners. This experiment can also be adjusted to be done online, or remotely, with the items students have at home, and by uploading pictures of their monster, or showing it off on Zoom, etc. Put students’ physics and engineering skills to the test by having them design and create a monster using items from your STEAM supplies or items brought in from home. This Halloween activity explores both engineering and physics and is a perfect, creative science experiment for middle school during this time of year. But if the upset student throws his book across the hall, that would be considered work because the boy’s force along with gravity causes the book to fall down. If a student is having explosive behavior in the hallway and trying to push a wall, that would not be considered work because the wall is not going to move. 
For work to be able to occur, a force has to be exerted onto an object so that that object can move. A student carrying their books and setting them on their locker shelf, weightlifting, shooting a basketball, or pushing a shopping cart, are all examples of work. In day-to-day life, work happens constantly. When it comes to physics, work is defined as a force causing the movement of an object. Below are several fun science experiments for kids that are engaging, exciting, and just in time for Halloween. With these changes came anxiety, nervousness, and even sometimes disconnect.Īs teachers work to rebuild their classrooms into a more familiar learning environment, not only are academics highly important in this current school year, but so are building relationships and having fun. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, students had to pivot into learning models and roles they had never before experienced. The past year and a half has been challenging for all students across the globe.
