Demo Lesson
By Barbara

Clip to ScrapBook   
I love this lesson. It's a science lesson using the 5 senses. Its called "What's inside our mystery box? Inside a large box you put a popcorn popper. Cut a hole on one side to let the extension cord through. Have the children
look at the box and make predictions on whats inside (sight) and write them down on chart paper or the chalk board. Next, turn on the machine and have them predict what it could be just by listening to the sound and write those guesses on the chart paper. Now as a class you can ruleout certain guesses and as the popcorn begins to pop the children usually know what it is. And you use
all of your five senses( touch, taste, smell) throughout the lesson. And you can assess the lesson with a sequencing page on which sense you used first,second etc. If you want more info on this lesson email me at ELBA721@aol.com. The children really enjoy this lesson. I did it for my principal last year and she loved it. Be sure to give her some popcorn too :o)!!
