In an activity called Body Parts, Jessica and Ted Neal predict
body parts measurements, measure them, and record their
findings.
Carla gets a body part measurement.
"I’m forever blowing bubbles!" Here participants study the
properties of bubbles while using science processes and
investigative skills.
Participants inquire about the force of magnets, investigating
iron filings patterns and making inferences about magnet shapes
and relative strengths.
Dr. Harry discusses with participants the process skills
inherent in the round-robin activities.
Here Jessica and Ted construct and test various electrical
circuits, learning about electricity while making distinctions
between observational investigations and experimental
investigations.
Note: Lesson plans for
several of the experiences included in the Pre-conference are
available among the Lesson Example Models of this web site.
Included are The Button Box, Simple Electrical Circuits, Blowing
Bubbles, and Experimental Flight.
