This week we did a bunch of different activities, For one of the activities pictured above we placed M&Ms in water and watched as the colors bled throughout the water. I thought this lesson was really fun and interesting I never thought an M&M would look so moldy and weird once the colors faded. I would definitely do this activity with my elementary students to work on the skill of observation because I found this activity to be super helpful for me to work on my observation skills. My remaining question is how can I tie this activity into a science-based lesson that goes deeper than just an observation skill?
Hi Monet! I also had a similar question and would be interested in learning the answer to it rather than the teacher just explicitly stating it with the differences are.
ReplyDeleteHi Monet! I enjoyed reading your post. I could see these observation activities working really well with elementary students.
ReplyDeleteHi Monet, I enjoyed your picture, and in response to your question, I feel like in a real classroom, you would not only have the students observe, but maybe do their own research into why they got the results they got.
ReplyDeleteHi Monet! This is the first time I have participated in an activity like this so I also thought that it was fun and interesting. I would also like to know more about the actual science behind this.
ReplyDeleteMonet! Everyone is LOVING your post, and that is because it is super great. This is just my absolute favorite blog post. Love the picture of the M&M's, it's so fun to see the colors bleeding off the candies making a little tie-dye effect. This will be a great activity for you to use in your future classroom!
