Hi I'm Tara I am a junior in college and was wondering if anyone had advice on doing more expirements in the classroom with younger students.
Make sure that you establish expectations with your students before ever introducing the activity. Try creating community expectations that the students contribute to so that they have some accountability over them. Plan way ahead for experiements and make sure you have the facilities available. Allow for plenty of time and plan for multiple days. Time is super hard to come by in an elementary classroom so if it is broken up over several days, it is perfectly fine and normal. Make sure that the task is developmentally appropriate and a worthwhile task.
