Science Circus: February 25, 2011 class

Science Circus

:
science activity that consists of several stations at which the visitors are asked to perform certain tasks and record their results or reactions.
Keep these questions in mind, when designing the station: 
  • What problem will the visitors to the station be trying to solve?
  • What type of task will the visitors be involved with?
  • What process skills will they need in order to answer the question(s)?
  • What materials do you need for this station? 
It is important for students to know what process skills are in order to do the Science Circus. Science Circus is very important to do with students. It went really well when we did it is class. Stations in the Science Circus should be between five to ten minutes long. By giving students five to ten minutes to do each experiment gives each groups enough time to do the experiment, come up with a hypothesis, perform the experiment, draw a conclusion and also answer the question.
