Combining science with a holiday twist is the specialty of Dr. I. Cicle, Kid Scoop’s resident snowman scientist who welcomes you to his lab full of seasonal experiments to try at home. Following the “scientific process” to conduct research mirrors the procedures your budding scientist learns at school. Using holiday foods and flavors from eggnog to popcorn to cinnamon makes testing your “sense of scents” more delightful. Dropping a candy cane in different types of common liquids sparks curiosity and wonder. Making “fizzy” cookies is easy and opens the door to asking “why?” Observing carefully, discussing results, and recording findings will have your scientist eager for more chemistry in the kitchen!
In this issue students will:
- read informational text to conduct simple science experiments
- follow written instructions in sequence
- understand the scientific method
- record observations and make conclusions
- use the newspaper to locate seasonal words
- conduct a weeklong weather watch
- gather your favorite holiday jokes to share
