Slime & STEM

Wow! The first five weeks have flown by! I have been SOOOOO exhausted, but I’m liven’ the dream!! Yes, I always dreamed of being a teacher and here I am!!!
On my 20th year of teaching, I’m still always learning new things. Adding more STEM into my curriculum is always so important! One of my favorite new activities is my STEM Balloon Powered Cars!
  Just watch them go--------



   A fun way to introduce the Phases of Matter was with SLIME! Yes, I said slime.  I know all the kids are into it, so why fight it!! Glue is cheap at the beginning of school and your kids will think you are the coolest. The secret to making it not stick to you is the eye contact solution. It is a MUST!! It is so engaging and my students came up with reasons they thought SLIME was a solid or a liquid.  It was so fun hearing them give their reasons.  Isn’t that what learning is about? Having fun, making observations, and engaging students!!!! Click here to see my SLIME Packet! 






I guess reviewing all these activities might be why I have been a little tired!! Have a great week!!
Make sure you are following my FACEBOOK and Instagram Accounts to see the fun, some fails, and always the adventures in teaching!!!
