Let's Do Learning

This is five day summer program lesson plan lays everything out for you. Throughout the week, 5 different fairy tale stem activities are approached with their coordinating fairy tale. Snack ideas, physical activity ideas, and art projects are included. A complete materials list states exactly what you will need for the entire week. Then, the materials are further broken down not only by day, but also by activity - STEM or Art. These summer camp lesson plans for elementary take most of the work o

This bundle is full of 5 chemistry experiments perfect for grades 2-5. Topics in this bundle include: Changing States of Matter Chemical Reactions Polymers Hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances Some of the experiments cover more than one topic. All experiments work through the scientific method. You can use this bundle over a period of 5 different days or as a science camp activity focusing on chemistry. All activities are hands on activities that demonstrate just how awesome science is! Follo

Thank you for looking at my product. This resource demonstrates a magic trick while also teaching about changing states of matter. It is a great opportunity to have the students practice their drama skills as they practice to become a great magician! Although you can order the sodium polyacrylate needed for this experiment, you can also get it from cutting up diapers! Yes! Sodium polyacrylate is the liquid absorbing material found in disposable diapers. Students will learn the science

Oh no! Santa's elves were trying to update his sleigh, but it crashed! Can you help Santa fix his sleigh and get him back to the North Pole before he is discovered? Students work in teams to solve puzzles and conduct experiments to help Santa put together a motor to get his sleigh back to the North Pole. Through the nine clues, students discover 4 lock combinations and 4 pieces to a motor. They must then input the four combinations to the locks securing the lockbox and get the directions to asse

In this 5-Day Elementary Science Camp, students complete 20 fun, hands-on science experiments to expand their science knowledge. The camp leader will not need to worry over the question, "What am I going to do tomorrow?" The plan is already done for you. The lesson plan is divided into 5 days of four experiments each day. Each experiment gives details on how to conduct the experiment and also gives the "Why" to explain why and how the experiment works. Each day also includes a suggested literatu

What is energy? This bundle combines energy units. YouTube videos are linked to explain what energy is, forms of potential energy, forms of kinetic energy, and the transfer of energy. Science is best learned through doing. Each unit comes with safe experiments that students conduct in order to learn more about energy. Have fun!

In this 5 day summer program lesson plan unit, campers will go through the Magic Treehouse first book chapter by chapter and complete fun STEM challenges as they go. Let's design and build a treehouse! In chapter 4 we learn that the mouth of a Pteranodon opens and closes like scissors. Our challenge is to create a model Pteranodon with a mouth that opens and closes like scissors. Chapter 6 tells us that many of the herbivores ate magnolia flowers. Can we build a magnolia flower? Jack is cutting

This detailed STEM lesson plan for elementary grades contains four weeks worth of activities. Each week focuses on the history of a different artist and then proceeds to guide the students to create a piece of art in the "style" of that artist. This lesson not only teaches students about the artist but allows the students to express themselves creatively. There is no wrong way to create their piece of art. The lesson plan then moves on to a STEM lesson based on a storybook. Most weeks, the STEM

What are the forms of potential energy? When we understand that there is potential and kinetic energy, we ask ourselves, "Are there different forms of potential and kinetic energy?" This lesson introduces four forms of potential energy and explains three of them in depth. The fourth, nuclear energy, is a concept for high school. The three that are taught are mechanical energy, gravitational energy, and chemical energy. Students watch a video created by "Let's Do Learning" and demonstrate their u

In this milk with food coloring and soap experiment students will be awestruck with the outcome. The packet includes links to student appropriate websites so students can gain background knowledge about the properties of milk in order to better form a hypothesis. They will navigate through the scientific method while being amazed by the results of this hands on science activity. This is sure to elicit many, "Oh!'s from your students. Included at the end of this unit are photographs of

What happens when you mix cocoa powder with water? Not much. It comes out dry. In this hands on science activity, students will explore the properties of hydrophobic substances. They will read a story about a girl named Cocoa who loves chocolate milk, but has a hard time getting the chocolate to dissolve. Students will be amazed that when a spoonful of cocoa powder is dipped in water, it comes out looking wet but a simple pop with a toothpick reveals a dry spoonful of cocoa powder. In

What is energy? Let's watch a YouTube video explaining the transfer of energy from potential to kinetic. Once students understand the terms energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, and work, they decide what experiment they wish to perform in order to explain how energy transfers from potential to kinetic. A student's Wow! moment comes from actually experiencing the learning process. In this inquiry based lesson, students get to explore the concepts presented on their own rather than just bein

This is the full version of my freebie. The free version is only 10 pages and a color .pdf. This version also contains the black and white .pdf as well as the Google Slides forced copy link. There's not much that's more fun than rockets! This cool experiment explores states of matter while creating so much fun! Students begin by learning about the different states of matter. Links to student appropriate resources are provided. Working through the scientific method, students form a hyp

Thank you for looking at my product. This hands on science experiment explores the properties of both milk and soda and the possible effects soda has on bones. Students will conduct research in order to gain background knowledge and make an informed hypothesis to answer the question, 'How does soda affect your body?" They will then perform a milk and soda experiment and discover how soda affects the calcium in milk. NOTE: THIS EXPERIMENT TAKES SEVERAL DAYS TO ONE WEEK TO COMPLETE

Learning about the transfer of energy can be difficult for elementary aged students. This resource breaks it down into simple steps that students can understand using examples that they can relate to. A link to the YouTube video that was created especially for this resource is included. This includes printable pdf as well as a link to make a copy for Google Slides.

Forms of kinetic energy can be hard to understand. Most videos move through the information way too fast for elementary aged students. This resource takes the confusion away. After watching the YouTube video that we created, students then can demonstrate what they have learned. Using the acronym MELTS makes it easy for students to better understand kinetic energy. Other resources on this topic include: What is Energy?Forms of Potential EnergyComing soon: Energy Transfer
