Bubble Gum Inquiry

We investigated Bubble Gum today in class and it was so fun! It was a great way to model HOW to set up a Science Investigation. I remember so many times when I was in school teachers telling me to do something without showing me how. I want to always remember to model, model, model what I expect in the classroom. A friend of mine recently said that there is a reason we are called "teachers" rather than "professors" in elementary school. Teaching means we show our students how to do things and make sure they learn it. I walked away this evening with a great activity to teach how to do Science.... and it was so much FUN!
