Fifth+Grade

Videos designed for Fifth Grade students = = = = =**How Many Drops?**= By Kara Esselstrom How Many drops of a liquid can stay on top of a penny before spilling off? Using water, vegetable oil, and rubbing alcohol, an experiment will be conducted to see which of the three liquids the penny will hold the most of before spilling over. Students will make a prediction in their science notebook before starting the exploration and then make notes throughout. The students are encouraged to explore with other sides of the penny after they are finished and to make notes in their science notebooks as to the outcome of their results.

**Static Electricity and You!**
By Amanda Elrod How does the the amount of friction applied to a balloon affect the way it interacts with an empty aluminum can? Students are encouraged to make their own discoveries about the relationship between an inflated balloon, an empty can, and the amount of "charge" it takes to move that can. media type="custom" key="23957432"

#|Water Density, By: Kelsey Kirkman The topic of the experiment will be to understand and complete a simple investigation. As we proceed throughout the different steps and observe the density of each of the waters and the differences in the egg submersion, we will be taking notes, drawing pictures and competing other steps necessary to an investigation. This lesson can be used for a variety of different grades because of the similar standards within this are.

"Sticky Situations" by Nickie Hodges & Tracy Rude <--- Click the live link here! (Full-Time MAT 2012-2013) The purpose of this flip science video is to help students understand how friction and gravity affect objects on or near earth. In this inquiry based lesson, students will design an experiment using household items and explain their results in their science journals and through grand conversation in the proceeding class session. Enjoy! :) media type="youtube" key="vUrj8sf_MZM" height="315" width="420"

STORM WATER RUNOFF: This inquiry based science lesson is designed to teach students about runoff and absorption. It was specifically designed to address sixth grade science standards, however, it can be easily adapted. I have seen a similar lesson conducted with age groups ranging from grades 4-10. media type="youtube" key="zKjvuo5ciiU" height="315" width="560"

Air pressure Inquiry: This was done as a part of a unit exploring weather to help students understand how air pressure and temperature changes create wind.
