Super Scientist of the Week 4

Volcanoes | Super Scientist of the Week

Here's round one of volcano experiments.




Here's a picture from round two of volcano experiements. Unfortunately, I didn't get video as I ended up helping his dad out with his video camera. The boys ended up using different indgredients for their volcanoes (minus the baking soda), and that led to a good discussion.


Can't wait to see what the rest of the 2nd graders have planned for their experiements!

Super Scientist of the Week

 This post is specifically for parents who may have any questions of what the expectations are. Here are some photos and a video that I hope you will all find helpful for when it is your Super Scientist's turn to share his or her experiement.

Your child will bring home a bag 1-2 weeks prior to his/her scheduled week. The contents of this bag include two science experiment books and a journal.

Please select a simple experiement that your child can perform at school without any help. Make sure to practice the experiment at home.

Have your child fill out the Lab Report in the Super Scientist Journal. Please make sure your child write his/her HYPOTHESIS prior to the experiment.

When it is your child's scheduled day to share his/her experiement, make sure you send the bag and its contents back to school along with all materials your child will need to perform the experiement.

Here is a video of our first Super Scientist sharing her experiment.

Final results of experiement. (Your child can add a photo or drawing to the Results section of the Lab Report.)

If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to address them!
