Teach Your First Days of School Science Lessons in an Unforgettable Way

Use eye-catching science experiments as lessons!

There’s something very exciting about the first few days of school – well, mostly for the kids, anyway. Whether it’s a new teacher, their classroom, the first locker, or even seeing old friends, kids use the first few days of school to form their expectations of what to look for the rest of the year.

Get students excited about science!

Want to create science experiences filled with wonder, discovery, exploration, and laughter that inspire and motivate students to want to learn more? What if you had a way to set the tone of wonder and serious fun in your classroom right out of the gate? Steve Spangler’s First Days of School Kit will help you accomplish this!

What does it teach?

Inflate balloons using only a single breath of air as your students learn about Bernoulli’s principle and the properties of air pressure. Turn a liquid into a solid with a snap of a finger, and show the power of the sun as the students build UV color-changing bead bracelets. Also, create a powerful lesson in hydrogels… the superabsorbent polymers that are saving the environment.

    Only the 2nd day of school...

    Barry Western

    But have used the Diet Coke/Mentos (+ more to experiment), and the wind bags ie: Bernoulli Bag as an intro to 4th grade, and have kids telling their parents I love school! Parents have come to me telling me they have never heard this before. They love the science.

    I have a huge background in science, and, unfortunately, most of the Spangler fun does not line up with State Standards for 4th grade… alas… and in California, the emphasis is on Math, LA, Reading, Spelling, etc… Science and SS get left behind. But… just these two fun science demos the first two days have left me a hero with the kids…

    The documentation tries to help out with aligning to the curriculum, but what is included just doesn’t quite make it. You need to find someone who can really align it! I’m working hard myself, and think I can bring the insta-snow in line… with CA SS., but, it’s hard! Nail that down, and I think you’ll do great! I’m working on insta-snow with
    CA SS geographic terms, plus some fun picture books at the library, and will see if I have a good segway!

    My 2nd Gr. students loved this pack of fun! We spent an afternoon exploring the difference between science activities and science experiments; an important step just before Science Fair.
    Since there was something to take home, that made it all the better.

    I love all your stuff and have had success with 99% of it. Thanks for all you do to help teachers teach science in fun and easy ways.
