Gabbi Sashkin "Magnetic Attraction" Standards: 2.2P.1 Compare and Contrast how objects and materials respond to magnetic forces. 2.3S.3 Make, describe, and compare observations, and organize recorded data. This lesson explores magnetic attraction between household objects and a single magnet. Students will record their findings and questions in their science notebooks and follow along with the directions in the video. Students are given the opportunity to extend the experiment with their own questions and curiosities. media type="custom" key="23949506"

Magic Eggs

Below you will find my YouTube videos and lesson on Magic Eggs. This lesson explores density. Students will see the effect of density by watching an egg sink and or float in water. Students have an understanding of what float and sink mean. Students will learn that objects that are less dense than the liquid they are in will float. Students will also understand that objects that are denser than the liquid they are in will sink. At the conclusion of the lesson students will understand that density matters in floatation.

"Hot on Magnets" Submitted by Rheana Laipply (2012) Does the temperature of a magnet affect how strong it is? []

Katy Coleman "What's Attracted to Magnets?" Below is my video and lesson plan for exploring magnetism with everyday objects. Second grade students will be testing materials in their homes to see if they are attracted to a magnet. This experiment will be the springboard for a unit on magnetism and why certain object are attracted to magnets and others are not. media type="youtube" key="h1Y5JUExU4o" height="315" width="420"

Laci Smith "Heat and Temperature" Hi! My video is for second grade students and is about heat and temperature. The students are asked to put 3 cups water in a pan, they then put the pan over heat. Every minute they remove the pan, take the temp and take notes of the data. They do this for 5 minutes total. For minutes 4 and 5 they are asked to make predictions of the temp. After they finish this investigation they are asked to change one variable of the investigation and do the procedure again. All the data should be noted in the notebook and brought to school the following day. The students will compare their data and note what their patterns were as well as what the differences were for the variable they changed. After the investigation the students will: observe, measure and record data; make predictions about events; and describe and compare observations and organize recorded data (these match the second grade science standards 2.3S.1, 2.3S.2, and 2.3S.3).
