Today I introduced our first discrepant event in chemistry. It involved some matches and a nickel, which the kids seemed really intrigued about. After that we did a few questions on the board about atoms, molecules, compounds and mixtures. Our lab for the day was “separating a mixture” with powdered sugar, sand, iron filaments and corn kernels. It worked out great, but those kids know how to make a mess.
