Hi Boys and Girls! Hope everyone had a nice spring break. Hopefully you and your family got outside and enjoyed the weather when it was warm. Remember I would love to hear from you. You can contact me through my blog, school class dojo, or email me at gruczl@dearbornschools.org.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I have three science activities for you. 1. Coranavirus Challenge , 2. Monster STEM Challenge, and 3. Recipe to make slime. You are to do choose one of these activities for the week, but feel free to do all of them if you would like. I am just asking you to please share your ideas and pictures of your completed work. Send pictures or written thoughts to my blog, school class dojo,or my email at: gruczl @dearbornschools.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity #1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Coronavirus Design Challenge<\/em><\/strong>:<\/span> (This challenge is for grades 2-5th, but if young 5’s, kindergarten and 1rst grade want to do, please have an older sibling or parent help. Thank you!)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How can you stop the spread of the Coronavirus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    PROBLEM: <\/strong>A fever is one of the first signs that someone is getting sick, but it is hard to tell if someone has a fever just by looking at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    POSSIBLE SOLUTION<\/strong>: people have their temperature taken when they enter a public building. If they don\u2019t have a fever, they are given a sticker with the date on it, so others can see that they are okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A PROBLEM WITH THIS SOLUTION<\/strong> is: the stickers get caught up in people\u2019s hair and\/or fall off their clothes. They then fall on the ground and need to be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CAN YOU FIND A BETTER SOLUTION? Design something to help us tell whether someone has a fever or is feeling unwell.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Make Slime Activity<\/span>– (For all grade levels)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Make slime time:) I know all year students have asked me if we can make slime. So I am providing you with a recipe. Just click on link below and use your measuring skills and follow directions carefully. Have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ***If link didn’t work here is the recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    MATERIALS:
    \u2022 Borax
    \u2022 Water
    \u2022 Clear or white glue
    \u2022 Two bowls
    \u2022 Measuring cups and spoons
    \u2022 Whisk
    \u2022 Food coloring or glow powder (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    HOW TO DO IT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Measure out 1 teaspoon of borax and whisk with 1 cup of warm water in a bowl until the borax is
      dissolved. You can add \u00bd tablespoon of glow powder during this step if you want to make glowing slime.
      You can get glow powder at a craft store or online.<\/li>
    2. In the other bowl, combine \u00bd cup of glue and \u00bd cup of water. Whisk together. If you want to add a few
      drops of food coloring you can do that during this step.<\/li>
    3. Now, combine the borax mixture with the glue mixture. Mix with your hands and watch the slime form! If
      you added glow powder, see what happens when you turn off the lights!<\/li>
    4. Have fun playing with your slime! To keep it fresh, store it in a re-sealable bag in the fridge<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
