Kit Connections Carol Strough of Northeastern School District will be featured for her classroom kit practice next week on KSN's journal page. The science of pH is not specifically taught to third grade students because the concept is complicated. However, the kit has activities using red cabbage as an indicator which dovetail nicely with the website content. Within this site there are a number of avenues to explore. Teachers can get ideas for introducing chemical concepts or target approaches to classroom practice.
Students can access interactive activities that help promote their understanding.
Teachers may want to explore this site for pedagogical reasons as well as content because the format is interesting. The site has workable resources and is worth investigating. According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put their lipstick on they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
