In the Science Activity that I will be doing is for students to have the opportunity to predict, observe, and graph the changes in temperature in three different experiments. The three experiments are observing water freezing in the freezer, the temperature changes of water in the fridge, and water heating on the stove. This will be done using digital temperature probes.
The content that I will cover in this project is:
1st Grade Content Core
Standard 3 - Students will develop an understanding of their environment.
Objective 2 - Investigate water and interactions of water.
a. Observe and measure characteristics of water as a solid and liquid.
The pedagogy that I will cover in this project is that students will first predict what they think will happen as the water freezes in the freezer, cools in the fridge, and heats on the stove, and the difference in temperature between solidified, cooled, and heated water. The students will then observe what happens to the temperature of the water as it solidifies into ice in the freezer, as water cools in the refrigerator, and as water heats on the stove by measuring the temperature difference in set time increments. The students will then record the temperature differences of the three different experiments in increments on separate chart. Last, the students will chart the temperatures of the three experiments on one chart and make observations about the differences in temperatures over time in groups.
The technology that the students will use are digital temperature probes to measure on the computer the temperature of the water in the three experiments, to be used over a span of time in increments, and then graph the changes in temperature on a line chart in groups.
