Halloween Chemistry Demos

 

 



      When a holiday is approaching, make it a special day for your students, with activities and lessons that incorporate holidays such as Halloween into their science lesson. Halloween is not all about the candies, it can be about magic and a little bit of science too.  Here is a video showing "Dry Ice Crystal Ball" experiment that will keep the students intrigued and engaged.
      One of the challenges that the teachers encounter is how to keep students motivated. When the students are motivated and engaged, it leads to the improvement in performance and attendance and could positively affect exam grades. Some of the strategies that help to keep the students engaged in the classroom include pictures, videos, hands-on activities and demonstrations.
    
 "Magic's just science that we don't understand yet."

When science becomes fun!

 

 

Here is my fellow scientist who is creating Elephant's Toothpaste. This demonstration will keep the students motivated and even adults would be interested. All you need is hydrogen peroxide and concentrated soap solution. Peroxide will release oxygen, add food coloring to make even more unforgettable.

 

Important: Don't do this at home!

 

No matter where you go in New York, if you see trees there must be mushrooms!! What are mushrooms, you may ask? A mushroom is the spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus which is a member of a eukaryotic organisms. Typically mushrooms are collected in the late summer and fall. Mushroom hunting is a fun and interesting activity for the whole family to enjoy. However, be cautious when identifying mushrooms because there are edible as well as toxic types.

Blog's goals

Welcome to my Blog!

 

This blog focuses on the science education of high school students. The main topic of the blog is to spark an interest in everyone about science and to give suggestions to fellow future educators on how to keep the students motivated. The posts include general information about science and education and all of the related concepts. The blog is mainly intended to inspire young scientist to venture out of the confinements of their rooms and classrooms and explore the outdoor world near their houses or to visit a nearby botanical garden, etc. Explore! Discover! Enjoy!
