Seashells and Acid Lab / Ocean Acidification / Marine Chemistry / Climate Change
This is a lab activity where students learn about the effects of acidic water on shelled animals. The students set up three beakers- one for water, one for salt water, and one for vinegar (acid). They place a seashell in each and make observations over the course of three days. The sea shells and vinegar create a bubbly reaction that piques the students' curiosity. My students love it! Great for science topics covering life sciences, ocean chemistry, global warming, mollusks and the animal kin

Rock Observations Book- length & weight in metrics & english describe properties
Rock Hunts are fantastic in the younger grades-they are always fascinated by rocks! If it is possible, go outside to search for rocks.
Students then spend time observing thier rocks looking at characteristics like: harndess, size, grainy, texture, color, etc. Students create a book of their rock observations they can share or use to compare different rocks!
FUN!!!
