Science Projects

This year Mel and I are doing the "Beyond Five in a Row" Curriculum. I have really enjoyed it and Mel has been doing some really interesting Science projects. She is currently reading "The Boxcar Children". Beyond Five in a Row has the children read books and then there are subject that are wrapped around that book. It is set up like a unit study, but she has done most of the work for you. So, her first science project was Evaporation, Precipitation and Condensation. Here is a diagram for you to look at. If you would like more information, check out the National Weather website.


So to get the effect of evaporation, we used a kettle and we let it get really hot to get it to whistle and let out the steam.


Once it started to whistle and steam started rising from it, we placed a clear glass over the steam without getting burned and watched the steam fill the glass. This formed condensation on the inside of the glass. The steam went into the glass and droplets of water fell out of the glass.
It was basic, but very interesting.














Here are some websites that can help with easy science labs, They are fun and practical. Here is the first one, it is called Science is fun home experiments, This website not only has science, but lots of other subjects as well and there are some other links that you can go to, this website is called Easy Science Experiments. This site had quite a bit of experiments, enjoy, it is call Science Bob. I just go to Bing or google and I just type in what I need and you would be surprised all of the sites you can use. Have fun.
