4 Science Experiments in a Jar
4-Lesson Course: Practice the scientific method as we complete 4 experiments that can all fit in a jar. (Ages 5-10)
Course Summary
Practice the scientific method as we complete 4 hands-on science experiments that can all fit in a jar! Experiments Include: Dancing Raisins, Snow Storm, Ocean Layers and Salt Volcano.
Little scientists have the option of getting the weekly supplies and participating in the science activity or may choose to simply observe. Every week will include a science journal to practice the scientific method and fill out during lessons. Journals also include key terms and explanations pertaining to the science experiment of the day. Have a competitive side to you? Play our online games over and over to fight for your space at the top of the leader board! We will cover many scientific terms in a fun and simplified way.
Science activities include:
WEEK 1 - Dancing Raisins - Learn about density and buoyancy in a fun way as we watch in amazement while our raisins dance up and down in our jars! What else can we get to dance?
WEEK 2 - Snow Storm - Create beautiful balls of white looking snow inside our jars as we learn about chemical reactions.
WEEK 3 - Ocean Layers - Have fun creating beautiful layers in our jars while learning about the ocean.
WEEK 4 - Salt Volcano AKA Salt Lava Lamp - Learn about density and buoyancy as we separate layers and then add salt for a magical surprise. Final Kahoot quiz covering all of the terms we learned throughout this course.
I will provide step-by-step instructional videos for our activities in order for students to participate along at home. I often include my own children in videos to create more of an age appropriate classroom like environment. I want your learner to feel like they are part of a class and will be available for any questions or communications. New videos will be available each Monday for 4 weeks. Each week students will get a “Scientist Journal” AKA a printable one-page questionnaire, supplies and information worksheet. Students can fill out the questionnaire with their hypothesis and observations. How does a “Flexible Schedule” course work? No scheduled live video chats. Video lessons are each about 10-25 minutes long and can be paused, viewed, re-watched and studied at your convenience. Great if your learner prefers independent pacing or is uncomfortable with live video chat.

As a homeschooling mother of five, I felt led by the Lord to create an online educational platform. My style of learning didn't fit into the mold of what was out there. Not to mention, the rising prices of other educational platforms limited what classes my children could enjoy. Sifting through online classes and full curriculum that aligns with Christian values is tricky. Today, it seems most Christian curriculum is boring bookwork and/or very costly. I sought to combine everything that I value in education. Teach Me Truth provides entertaining video lessons, live online classes, online games, quizzes, worksheets, and community - all designed by independent teachers within our nonprofit platform.
