Science Observations

Video instructions from a first grade student on how to wash your hands. Great job with your demonstrations! Especially how you used your elbow to turn off the water.

Students made observations about plants and animal when they went outside.

Hussein went outside to look for animal tracks. He thinks this might be squirrel tracks. What do you think?

Hussein made fever bracelets out of duct tape for his entire family, even his baby brother! I love how our Henry Ford Engineers are thinking of ways to design objects that will keep people safe.

Candle Experiment by Ali & Mahdi Hammoud

Ali and Mahdi Hammoud sent an experiment for families to try out. I want to thank Mrs. Amanda Hammoud for supervising this cool experiment and making sure the boys were safe!

STEP 1: Gather the materials that you see in the first photo
STEP 2: Fill the bottom of the bowl with water
STEP 3: Add a few drops of food coloring. Then mark the water level with a crayon or marker.
STEP 4: Put a wax candle in the middle of the bowl
STEP 5: Have an adult help you light the candle
STEP 6: Put a glass over the candle
STEP 7: Observe and record what happens

• What do you notice about the water level?
• What do you notice about the candle?
  STEP 8: Try the experiment with 2 candles. Are the results the same or different?
  SHARE YOUR RESULTS ON CLASS DOJO OR email Ms. McCormick at mccormk@dearbornschools.org
