Science can be challenging to learn, but it doesn't have to be complicated to teach. Even the most simple classroom objects can have the biggest impact on student learning. Finding ways to meet students where they're at and harnessing their sense of wonder is the easiest route toward effective learning. Mobile Ed has ten low-prep science experiments that are both educational and exciting for students.
Sometimes a demonstration is the most compelling way to explain an important concept. Not only does it get our point across a little easier, but students become fascinated by the demonstration and are more willing to stay engaged.
Even better than a demonstration is a hands-on assignment that gets students involved, asking questions, and participating in their education. Mobile Ed uses hands-on learning in many of our programs, and we consistently see great results among students. They are more engaged in the lesson when lessons are hands-on, helping them to stay focused and retain more information. Hands-on learning, also known as kinesthetic learning, requires students to use their sense of touch to learn and make connections. All it takes is a few classroom materials and some curiosity, and your students will become scientists in just a few minutes.
Here are ten low-preparation science experiments to do in your classroom that students will love (and learn from)!
All of these experiments are great ways to make STEAM principles come alive, but the Mobile Ed STEAM Museum is another exciting way to teach students about the fun applications of science. This hands-on museum includes state-of-the-art technology and interactive activities related to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
Some subjects covered in the STEAM Museum are:
