Science experiments: what kind of experiments should I do with my young students to spark their curiosity?

Family friendly experiments like

·         What makes Popping Candy pop?

·         Can you get an egg yolk out of a shell without cracking it?

·         How do you make a snow volcano?

·         Can pinecones forecast the weather?

·         How tall is that tree?

Teacher must provide time for the students to explore, think and discover, we remember what we think about most. teacher must inspire students to think about things continously, then memory is enhanced this is where curiosity comes into play... this provides opportunities for students to think about what they are learning. 

I will bring them to the field and let them experience living things around, and ask them to provide me questions about what they see

first tell them that science is about resaerch and scientist is not common man he always keep observing, then tell them how the great scientist discover things. So to become well known scientist you need to be always observing things and try to find solution to them if you see any problems or feel need of improvement in it.

Expermints proves theory and you see with your own eyes you learn it and in an experiment is best tool for scientist.

Encourage them to learn coding and programming!

The experiments should you do with your young students to spark their curiosity will be based on thier need. ask them first what they want then try to match that with the lesson you want to teach. that will work.
