Activity
Mad Scientist?
Type of Activity: Independent, though teacher will want to monitor the experiment portion, especially with the baking soda and vinegar
Materials Needed: Old newspaper, vinegar, water, corn starch, baking soda, cups for mixing, spoons to stir, paper, pencil
Directions for student:
Your job is to create an experiment using these four things. When you mix two of these things, you will get a reaction. When you mix two other things, you will get another reaction. Do you know which sets of things will make a reaction? Do you have a hypothesis about what the reaction will be?
Write up the problem of this experiment: What will happen when you mix some of these things together?
Next, make a hypothesis about what you think will happen.
After that, spread out newspapers so you have a place to work. Mix two items in a cup and see what happens. Draw a picture of you’re your cup now looks like. Make sure you tell in your picture what two things were in your cup. Then, mix another two items in another cup and draw a new picture of the results. Keep doing this until you have tried mixing all combinations. Is there anything else you would like to try?
Now, write up what you did in this experiment and what you found out.
Assessment: Through written work, based on the quality of sentences produced.
Grammar Explanation
The -ed ending has three pronunciations:
| kick- kicked | /t/ - when the final sound of the singular is also voiceless (except /t/) |
| study- studied | /d/ - when the final sound of the singular is voiced (except /d/) |
| count - counted | /id/ - short i plus d - when the final sound is /t/ or /d/) |
Note that auxiliaries also have past tenses: have - had, can - could, and most importantly: do - did
Be careful with verbs that “double a letter” or “change the y to i” before adding the ed ending:
Mom shopped yesterday. He studied his flashcards
Negation involves the introduction of the auxiliary did:
He didn't read the newspaper last night.Questions
We didn't make breakfast yesterday.
Yes/No questions
These are formed by putting the auxiliary verb did at the beginning of the sentence.
Did you go to the store on Sunday?5Ws
Did she play basketball with them?
Question words are placed at the beginning, before the auxiliary. Note that, as in a yes/no question, the auxiliary is before the rest of the sentence.
What did she do after school? She listened to the radio.
