4 Yummy Science Experiments (Self-Paced)
Complete science experiments: Instant Ice, Instant Snowman, Hot Chocolate Science, 2-in-1 Magic Milk & Skittles, The Ultimate Cookie Dunk (Ages 5-10)
Course Summary
Join me in these fun hands-on lessons where I will provide step-by-step instructions for completing our science experiments. Each week we will gather food related items, print our official science journals and practice the scientific method. There are simplified key terms that we will cover with a hands-on approach. There is a quiz at the end of this course covering all of the key terms covered during our 4 weeks together. Learners can compete for a top spot on the leaderboard by taking the quiz as many times as they'd like. Homework assignments include, sharing pictures of their completed science journals.
WEEK ONE: Hot Chocolate Science - Learn how molecules speed up or slow down based on temperature. Test different items such as salt, pepper and our hot chocolate mix to see what can or cannot dissolve. Test our hot cocoa mix by attempting to dissolve it in cold, warm and hot water.
WEEK TWO: Frozen Ice Powers and Instant Snowman - 3-in-1 supercooling experiment! Learn what water needs to build upon in order to freeze. Freeze an entire glass of water with the touch of your finger, freeze an entire bottle of water by slamming it down on the table and lastly, pour water out of a bottle to form an instant snowman!
WEEK THREE: 2-in-1 Magic Skittles and Magic Milk - Watch in amazement as our food coloring swirls in magical colors away from our q-tip and create a beautiful pattern with Skittles.
WEEK FOUR: The Ultimate Cookie Dunk! Learn about density and buoyancy in this delicious experiment. Using the scientific method we will learn what cookies will sink or float.
Learners will need adult guidance when heating water for the hot chocolate science experiment. These experiments are not made to be eaten but are instead are made from common food and drink items. Use caution and common sense if you choose consume food items. For example, you might be able to eat Skittles but once they are mixed with dish soap then they are no longer safe to eat. Beware of any food items that you purchase because they might contain possible allergens such as nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs, or soy.
Course Curriculum
Elizabeth McMann
Hello parents and students,
I started Teach Me Truth Christian School because of the need for families to have a safe space for learning. After reading, "Mama Bear Apologetics", I recognized the call for a Christian education platform. Not only teaching children about the Bible, but also teaching apologetics that back up the Bible with science, logic, facts, history and intellectual reasoning. I am passionate about homesteading, homeschooling and working on becoming more independent from the world and government. Most schools in person and online censor Christianity and promote everything else - and I mean everything else! As parents, our jobs are becoming more difficult to protect our children from the evils of this world while at the same time educating them about the truth. Soon after starting the online platform, God called me to start an in-person school as well.
My Teaching Style: I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion for six years. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher since 2020. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class.
About Me: I have a bachelor's degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mom of five. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.
My Homeschooling Style: As a homeschooling mom of 4, my favorite part of teaching is sort of "tricking" them into learning. What I mean by this is, we often play learning games and sing songs. In addition to this, my children have learning games on their devices and we listen to learning songs in the car. Some of our favorite online resources include: Easy Peasy Homeschool, Education.com and Miacademy and Flock School. Some of our favorite learning games are: ABC and sight word bingo, memory match, shout-and-grab, ABC caterpillar board game, dinosaur nest game, Uno, chess, checkers, matching, fill in the blank phonics sounds and more. We love arts and craft time as well as create weekly science projects. My kiddos enjoy both live and self-paced online classes. Our kids participate in chores, taking care of our chickens, ducks, dog and cat. We love projects and currently are building a chicken coop. Lastly, our book work is a small part of learning each day.
