Penny Lab - Surface Tension
The Penny Lab is a classic experiment designed to explore the concept of surface tension, the property of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. In this experiment, you will place a penny on a flat surface and slowly add water one drop at a time. You will soon see a bubble start to form on top of the penny.The key observation in the Penny Lab is the number of water droplets that can be added before the spillage occurs. This number reflects the strength of the surface tension of the

Most people think of half-life in terms of radioaictve decay. However, it can also refer to drug interactions, pesticides in plants and a plasma half-‐life which is a stability factor. In each case the mathematical equations are similar and produce the typical half-life curve. Using M&Ms to create a simulation of the half-‐life process students create a graph with an exponential curve.

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
