Hands-On Science and Math

Encourage young investigators to feel, listen, smell, taste, and see their way to discovery by seamlessly infusing math and science throughout the school day! As you incorporate all five senses into learning experiences, you will give little innovators the opportunity to observe and explore the world around them. The activities in Hands-On Science and Math: Fun, Fascinating Activities for Young Children will help you plan engaging science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) lessons that will excite children and foster their critical thinking. Children can experience the thrill of scientific inquiry through simple experiments: Launching Recycled Rockets Shake and Freeze: Homemade Ice Cream Look Out! Volcano Erupting The Mystery of Suspensions Go, Car, Go! Simple Machines and Inclined Planes Designed to work with easy-to-find materials, the Hands-On Science and Math activities are inexpensive and uncomplicated, yet they lay the groundwork for understanding more complex STEM concepts later on.

Task Card 10: Fire and Air

Students will learn about the dangers of fire and what to do if they see a fire (call 911 and Stop, Drop, and Roll). They will discuss the concept that air is all around them and that air is needed to breathe. They will also discuss that when there is a fire, the fire will burn the air out of an area and makes it hard to breathe. This is why firemen must wear masks to help them breathe during a fire. The children will be shown 3 jars (small, medium, and large) and will be told that there is air in each inverted jar. They will find that the bigger the jar, the more air inside. Next, a candle will be placed under each jar and the children will count how long it takes for the air to burn out of each jar, thus extinguishing the candle. At the end of the lesson, each child will have a chance to blow out a candle using the air in their lungs. Students will count and compare sizes small, medium, and large.
