My students beg to do things in science, and not just read about what other people have done. Nothing inspires kids to learn and love science more than getting to experience it themselves.
When we study the electromagnetic spectrum, the color mixing projector will be an exciting resource/ demonstration. The students will see with their own eyes how the primary colors of light can be combined, and they can each use their own prisms to split white light into its component parts themselves!
The plasma ball will be a great addition to our classroom. It allows students to observe plasma, the 4th state, or matter. It also demonstrates lightning, convection, and by engaging with it they can see (safely) how their bodies can conduct electricity. It’s also a great tool to pique curiosity and get them noticing and wondering things.
My students love to study magnetism, and I know they will understand it so much better with a class set of magnet kits that allows each of them to learn by experimenting with the magnetic fields and how poles are attracted and repelled. The better they understand magnetism the better they will eventually understand electromagnetism and Earth’s magnetic field.
Ultimately, my students will be able to make deeper connections with the material by engaging with it in a more hands-on way.
