Grade: 4
*This is a science lesson I taught during my student teaching internship.
1. Use two plastic cups. Cut a hole in one and put two ‘balls’ of paper in the bottom of each cup.
2. Explain to the students that we are going to turn each cup upside down and place them in the water. Have them predict what is going to happen to the paper.
3. Complete the experiment discussing why one ‘ball’ of paper remained dry (the air is in the cup without holes) while the other is wet (the cup with holes lost the air and water filled the cup).
4. Read and discuss about air and how it’s everywhere.
