Hello everyone, working with elementary students in Science can be somewhat intimidating. Is there any labs that will be safe for elementary students to do aligning with the topic that is for that specifit week? Also, could teachers do a lab for students every time or will it be kept at a minimum? Thank You!

Hi Nicole

I think there are many labs that can be incorporated into an elementary classroom. If possible, hands-on experiments for students work the best because they can discover the learning for themselves. One thing that is important for their safety is to emphasize that the materials that are used in the experiment aren't toys and need to be treated like tools.
