Last week, my partner, Megan, and I met the 3rd grade students we're going to be working with for our science class. When we first walked into the room, the teacher was busy with another activity, so she didn't get a chance to introduce us right away. As we made our way to the back of the classroom to sit in tiny seats made for six year olds, 23 little sets of eyes followed us curiously, and I couldn't help but think of the movie Kindergarten Cop when Arnold Schwarzenegger first enters the classroom and all the little faces just stared at him with looks of horror and amazement.
We're going to be working with the kids on a "changes" lesson where we help them learn and understand that all matter has properties and that the properties can change when they are mixed together. It should be fun.
Here's to hoping we don't end up looking like this by the end of the lesson!
