Teacher Tips For Large Rope Wands


Group students into small groups of three. Have materials displayed on a table. Have students get together and begin the Ask and Imagine steps of the Design Process. (see

my STEAM Kit if you do not know this or have it already.) Have students come up with their own ideas of how to create the bubble wands and

materials that they will need. Remember the materials are visible for them to see in the room or outdoor space with which you are working. Do NOT help students as you want them to create their own STEAM! You can however manipulate what they will receive as materials by placing them in boxes or bags.

Have students take notes and test their products. If time have students go back and improve their products Present findings Materials you will need:Dawn dish soapglycerin or corn syrup1 gallon of watercontainer with lid, bucket, kiddie pool or water tablesBubble recipe Yarn or rope (each group will need three to for stands to braid together)Two eye hooks for each set of rope wands1 Washer to act as a weight for each set (or have student generate an idea)Two dowels for each set of wandsrulers or yard sticks

Bubbles RecipeMaterials you will need:- 1 Cup Dish Soap (Dawn is the best)

- 1 TBSP Glycerin or ¼ corn syrup- 6 cups of Water (distilled but regular is okay)- Bottle, jar or clean container of your choice with a lid

First: Slow and steady wins the race with this recipe!You do not want foam or bubbles just yet so be careful to slowly pour and stir the soap into the water.Second: Measure the glycerin and put in the one tablespoon into the soapy water mixture. If you are not using glycerin add the ¼ cup of corn syrupStir until mixed together and let the bubble fun begin!

STEM Your Beak

��

Teacher Notes and Materials Lists��

Time: 60 minutes Materials for beak construction: Tray or hard surface for each group to contain materials Scissors String, twine, masking tape or yarn Suggestions -chopsticks, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, toothpicks, straws, plastic spoons paper clips, coffee stirrers, rubber bands, index cards, eyedroppers, clay Bird food for centers (see center explanation sheet): rice, oatmeal, gummy worms, pieces of drinking straws, bowls, rice crispy cereal pieces, walnuts in the shell, raisins, grapes on a stem, toilet paper rolls, small bread rolls or biscuits Optional tools or pictures for discussion: pliers, needlepoint pliers, tweezers, strainer, screwdrivers In groups of one to four, students will use the materials on the tray to create a bird’s beak that will pick up various food items and transfer them to a bowl. Set up the bird stations and have the students try to pick up as much food as possible in one minute at each station. They should record how much they picked up on the data sheet. Students can revise their beaks for each center. Discuss how different foods items require adaptations of the beak. Suggestion: Using actual tools or pictures, compare and discuss the tools and beaks.

STEM Your Beak Stations 1.Pieces of straws in bowl of water (represents fish) 2. Rice Crispy Cereal pieces that are tossed (represents flying insects) 3. Bowl with gummy worms in bottom covered by dry oatmeal or flour (represents underground worms) 4. Rice in an empty toilet or paper towel paper roll (insects in a log) 5. Small bread rolls (small mammal) 6. Small raisins in bowl of water (aquatic insects and vegetation) 7. Grapes on the stem hanging from a string (fruit on tree) 8. Whole walnuts or other nuts in the shell ( seeds and nuts)


STEM YOUR BEAK Or

(Can you engineer a bird beak?) Birds have a wide variety of beaks to enable them to eat in various habitats. Now it is your turn. Using the materials on your tray, engineer beaks that will capture the objects in the stations. Different foods require different beaks, so return to your engineering table and adjust your beak as needed for each task. On the chart, draw a simple sketch of each design and check off in the box if it was able to capture the food source and how much it could capture in one minute.

Rubber Band Rockets

Copyright Science Demo Guy © 2014

In this activity students will work in

groups to build rockets from straws and rubber bands.

They will test different angles and how far they pull

their rocket back to determine the best combination for

a great launch!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=for5lSNGD6o Due to the size of my videos, and the size limit that TPT and Teacher's Notebook puts on the files I can provide for you, I've included your video as an unlisted youtube link (meaning you can find it, whereas the general public can't). Some people like to have these actual video files stored on their computers as mp4s. If you would like to do this, I've provided instructions below on how to download it.

How to download my youtube video as a video file on your computer

There are numerous websites that will help you download a youtube video onto your computer. This just happens to be my favorite one. What you'll need to do is follow these 3 steps: 1. Copy the URL that I provided above 2. Paste it into the box on savefrom.net (see screenshot below) 3. Click the download button then select "MP4 360p" as the quality After it has downloaded, it will be available in your downloads folder!

Teacher Instructions (Rubber Band Rockets): There are many ways to use this activity in your classroom. Below is just one suggestion.

Set out the materials (per station): 3 or 4 straws 3 or 4 rubber bands scotch tape duct tape (or masking tape) 2 bamboo skewers scissors Student Instructions Sheet (aka worksheet) OPTIONAL: Markers – for designs on their rocket or to mark cm on the bamboo skewer for more scientific measurements (see video)

Introduction: I like to start this activity by asking my students if they have ever launched rockets or seen them launched. After a few student share, I say “Today we are going to build rockets and we will launch them as far as possible!” Tell the students that this challenge will test their group’s ability to work together to build and test their very own rubber band rocket. Direct students to follow their student instructions sheet. The first step involves you, the teacher, giving step by step instructions on how to construct their rocket. Please see the video for how to build these! As students are working, ask questions about why they are doing what they are doing. If students ask you questions, encourage them or their group to find the answer :)

The Science Behind this Activity: This activity deals with potential energy and kinetic energy. When students pull their rockets back and stretch the rubber band, there is now “stored energy”. This is called potential energy. Once it is released, it is converted into “energy of motion”. This is called kinetic energy. The students should learn that the more they pull, the more potential they build up. Then when they release, that will result in lots of kinetic energy which will result in a longer flight!


Research activity: The video link that I included shows some gliders with humans, in them, being launched off a cliff. It’s similar to this activity in that the bungees need to be stretched far enough to have enough potential energy to launch the glider with enough speed (kinetic energy).


Materials Needed for Rubber band rockets Materials listed below are per group (typically 3-4 students) 3 or 4 straws 3 or 4 rubber bands scotch tape duct tape (or masking tape) 2 bamboo skewers scissors Student Instructions Sheet (aka worksheet) OPTIONAL: Markers – for designs on their rocket or to mark cm on the bamboo skewer for more scientific measurements (see video)

STEM Activity Challenge Student Instructions – Rubber Band Rockets

Student Name(s):___________________________________________________ Challenge: Can you build and launch a rocket that will travel really far?

1. Construction: Follow your teacher’s step-by-step instructions to build your rocket.

2. Think: Why are we putting fins on the back of our rockets? Share your idea with your group.

3. Experiment: Try launching your rocket at different angles. Try pulling it back different distances before launching.

4. Results: What worked best? Launching (circle one) Flat or Angled Pulling back (circle one) A little or A lot

5. Additional Research: Similar to your rubber band launched rocket, check out this bungee cord launched glider with a person in it! Why are they using a bungee cord? https://youtu.be/K6fv-TNyrqs
