Students explore real fur and bones as they learn about food chains. During this lesson, students get hands on demonstrations that show what matter is and the differences between solids, liquids, and gases. A gas powered cannon is then constructed. As a final demonstration, each student makes their own batch of a polymer slime to take home. This program demonstrates where electricity originates and how it is used to power motors and make toast.
