These materials will address the Nevada content standards Science MS-PS1-1 through MS-PS1-6 in 7th grade that covers Matter and Its Interactions. Learning happens through hands on experiences. I plan on using the materials during the following lab activities: 1. Phase changes - boiling ice using the 500mL beakers and Bunsen burners. 2. Density - creating liquids with different densities using salt and food coloring and layering them in a graduated cylinder. 3. Chemical interactions - creating a gold penny using beakers and Bunsen burners. 4. Trays will allow for a more efficient lab setup and safer flow of students moving through the classroom. The materials chosen will assist students in learning of chemical interactions in a more visual and hands-on way. Students need to work and think together, especially after more than a year of working independently. By having the students perform experiments with the materials, it will allow them to further understand the concepts in a more concrete way. Hands-on approaches to learning and collaboration are what is needed most now.
