Activity 8: Exploration of Chemistry

Exploring Static Electricity by Katherine Frett

My teaching idea, which has a desired grade level of 4th grade, has each of the following education standards met for a 4th grader.
 A.4.1 When conducting science investigations, ask and answer questions that will help decide the general areas of science being addressed. This is met by me asking them why this is happening, this makes them think about what is going on in the experiment and answer questions.
C.4.2 Use the science content being learned to ask questions, plan investigations, make observations, make predictions, and offer explanations. This is met when i ask them what happens and why, it makes them take the information they know and give you an explanation as to why things are happening in the simulation.
B.4.1 Use encyclopedias, source books, texts, computers, teachers, parents, other adults, journals, popular press, and various other sources, to help answer science-related questions and plan investigations. The child is getting a good use out of the simulation, this is a excellent tool for the child to be able to use and gain knowledge from.
