Tips for teaching Elementary Science

1. Everyone knows that teaching clouds is not difficult, just boring. However, you can make it interesting by showing your students how clouds are formed. What you will need is a jar, a match, tape, black paper, a flash light, and a small bag of ice. What you will do is fill the jar 1/3 of the way full with warm water. Then you will light the match, hold it in the jar for a couple of seconds, and then drop the match into the water. Next, quickly cover the jar with the small bag of ice. Now you just shine the flash light into the jar and watch the clouds form. Of course, the black paper will be taped on the jar so you all can see the formation. You can explain at anytime how clouds are formed during this experiment. (more…)
