An Egg-Citing Lesson from Greenbush
Fourth graders from Mrs. Haney’s science classes completed a science lab online with eggs to develop a better understanding of the science process. During each experiment the students generated hypotheses, took notes and drew pictures during the experiment and generated a conclusion. In the first experiment the students had to determine if vinegar added to water with food coloring creates darker colored eggs. The second experiment the students were asked if eggs float. The students were surprised to see the eggs float when salt was added to their mixture.
This was Avon’s first connection to the Greenbush Network but will not be our last. The experiments were great activities for 4th graders tat met several science and technology standards. The students enjoyed the activity and the connection.
If you have not had a chance to do a lesson from the Greenbush IDL Network in Kansas you should!
