Rainstorm Rescue | Waterproof Materials Science Experiment for K–2

Created by

Bydand Publishers

Can you keep water from getting through a material? In this hands-on science challenge, students test different materials to see which ones block water and which ones let it soak through. Children discover that some materials are waterproof while others are absorbent — and connect their findings to real-world engineering of raincoats, umbrellas, and shelters. Includes an introductory page with a real-world connection, step-by-step testing instructions, a student recording sheet for predictions a

Build a Water Slide | Water Flow & Surface Science Experiment | Hands-On STEM

Created by

Bydand Publishers

Can you design a path that helps water move quickly from top to bottom? Part of a 20-challenge series, this hands-on engineering challenge, students build a mini water slide using household materials and test how different surfaces affect the speed of water flow. Children learn that water flows downhill but that texture and shape change how fast it moves. Includes an introductory page with a real-world connection to water flowing over different surfaces, step-by-step building and testing instruc

Controlled experiments are designed in order to test a hypothesis by manipulating variables. The variable that the scientist changes is the one being tested. This is known as the independent variable (Remember, I, the scientist, change the Independent variable.) Each team member will write the work in their lab notebooks.Each team must provide a title for your experiment.Each team member must write a hypothesis for your experiment.
