| Today we experiments with volcanoes! |
SUMMARY
Good news, everyone stayed awake today. If we could perform experiments every day I think all kids would love school. They were so excited to work with their hands and learn about volcanoes. If teachers had help in the classroom (lots of help) they could have experiments daily. The preparation, planning, instruction, clean-up always takes longer than expected.
Today I divided the class into 7 groups of three. I told them they were on a scientific investigation team and each of them had a job to do. The engineer made the volcano, the supply manager managed all the supplies, and the foreman told everyone what to do. They were all excited about their jobs. When we reached the final step of adding the vinegar to the mountain, the students were in a state of delirious anticipation as you can tell by the smudged face in the background. He was jumping up and down.
After the experiment the students made notes on their observations of the volcano before, during, and after the eruption.
