  1. Scientist of the Week learning by doing

  2. Science is fun ! Would you like to be a real scientist ? Would you like to discover new things ? Would you like to learn more about the world around you ? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the activity for you! You can do many experiments with things you have at home.

  3. This is a voluntary assignment. (Participate only if you want to.) • Each week one student will be the scientist of the week. • That student will conduct an experiment in front of the class on Friday afternoon. • If you choose to participate, your parents or your teacher can help you choose the experiment that you do. • You will practice the experiment at home before you present it to the class. How the program works... It’s fun to experiment with magnets !

  4. If you choose to be the scientist of the week we will provide you with- Using Koolaid to dye wool • a lab coat • safety glasses • equipment that you need that you cannot obtain from home • materials for the experiment that you cannot obtain at home

  5. Will you choose to be a scientist of the week ? Read on to find out more, then let me know if- - you have chosen an experiment - you would like help choosing one - you need me to help you find materials. You can talk to me at school or you can email me: barbara.pierce@nbed.nb.ca We have lots of science equipment at school.

  6. Here are some things that every good scientist should know: • Everyone can be a scientist ! • Scientists ask lots of questions- just like Curious George ! • Scientists use their eyes to look, their ears to listen, and their noses to smell. Sometimes they even touch and taste, too ! I wonder what this owl ate for breakfast ? • Safety first ! Follow all directions carefully and have an adult help you.

  7. What do good scientists do? Good scientists... • ...like to learn new things. • ...ask “Why?” • ...look and listen carefully. • ...take their time and don’t hurry. • ...collect things. Do you have a favourite collection? These children are learning about bubbles.

  8. Parent tips: Remember- A child’s interest in science begins at home. • Web sites you can visit • Activities you can do at home • Videos you can watch with your child. Teach your child that science is everywhere.
