color words to pick from so they know where they will push to.Objective: How can you create a force that will push a Hot Wheel to a specific location? If you are a primary teacher, I have another great way to integrate something real fast through your rhyming ab Sheep In A Jeep by Nancy Shaw. Looking for more STEM water activities? This pack is where it is at! From Hurricanes to shoreline protection that focuses on erosion.these are the extra resources I use during my FOSS Water Unit! I have included a the lesson plan and record sheet for you and your learners HERE! This is a great way to learn what a polymer is! What a great way to have them find ways to help protect the water even as a kid. Technology is ever changing and this is a new solution to an oil spill. What could be invented that might be better at skimming, absorbing, or dispersing so it is a better solution to an oil spill? What they will see is that none of these ways are 100% accurate. Use Dawn dish washing soap to disperse and then collect the oil to measure. Next, you can test absorption: give them cotton balls and have them absorb the oil off the top, squeezing it out to measure this method, and then finally dispersal. You can have a demonstration or in groups where they get three different ways to separate out the oil from the water: skimming: by using a spoon they can try to skim the oil off the top.collecting and measuring how much they were able to skim off the top.

You can also use just three paper bowls with water and a spoon full of oil. I have rocks as land, plastic animals are real animals, and sticks and paper leaves that are placed in the rocks as trees. Now, if this is too controversial, I also do an oil spill in a bucket. We share, clean up, reflect and then talk about how important it is that we look at all points of view when determining if it is worth creating something that could have a negative or positive impact economically. I ask them where do they think leaks will occur and how can they make sure it is sealed properly. They need to discuss how important it is to be very careful and accurate in their cutting and connecting the pipeline. I give each group time to draw and design a leak proof pipeline picture.

modeling clay/ sculpy (if you want to add this component).

Objective: Learn about the distribution of water on Earth and the importance of keeping fresh water clean.

STEM Challenge: Can you create a safe pipeline from one side of the table to the other to show the importance of protecting our freshwater from oil spills?

They need to make sure there are no spills so that the water is protected. They are the oil companies and I am the American People.

How do you add STEM? We give 20 minutes to create a pipeline that goes from Canada (one side of the table) to Gulf of Mexico (the other side of the table) that is made out of cups, different types of tape or putty, and straws. A writing lesson can come of it such as a public service announcement for kids to help kids make good choices about protecting water, you can do a letter to congress, or even a poem.Ħ. From taking a dropper with one blue drop of food coloring dropping it in a glass of water, you can add more water and dilute it, but that blue is still there.ĥ. Now for an anchor chart.How do we use water? How do we hurt water? How do we protect water?Ĥ. Find a book that can tie it to a lesson on that topic. Start with a concept you need to cover is science.let's just say water.
