Monday, August 31 Elephant’s toothpaste: Karen L. Steve Spangler experiment: [] Questions students will ask: What happened here? What made it grow? Why did she use gloves and goggles? What should we do with the toothpaste? What can we use again? What will have to be disposed of? How do we dispose of it following safety procedures? What tools did she use? How many tools did she use? Why did we all have to sit far away? Did you see change? What might have caused that change? What states of matter did you see? What did you observe?
