Next week, is obviously a busy week before we are on vacation! HOOT! HOOT! So, why not take a little break from the FOSS lessons or kits to use the concepts in a holiday way!
Our Kinders, firsties, and 2nd graders are going to be using a great freebie from
Smart Chick that has the students building a gingerbread man trap. Great for STEM engineering activities. I will be reading this great version
In third grade next week, I will be working on an extension of the FOSS water unit by seeing what would happen if gingerbread got wet. I am using the idea I got from
Amy Lowe that will help extend what they are doing. I will also be adding a liquid activity that combines their slope activity. I have included it for you... My fourth graders will be working on gifts that santa will bring that goes with bones...
While my fifth graders are working on the stations I created for mixtures and solutions...
Christmas Holiday Science Stations
Here are some pointers, pictures, and tips to make this station activity work perfect. First, with the chromatograhy... you can use vis-a-vis markers, that's what I use, that seems to work really well. They do the best in separating out.You can also test other markers to see if they would work, too. Check it out:
I then set up buckets for each station...

| Reindeer QR code research |
 |
| Chromatagraphy lights |
 |
| Santa's Sleigh |
 |
| Cups for each group to test for Mrs. Claus' Mix Up |
 |
Stations are ready to go! Each group has 3 cups ready with prepared powers.
Enjoy your holiday fun! |
