What does it teach?

In these compelling physical science activities, children investigate the properties of substances as they make their own personal brands of paste, toothpaste, cola, and ice cream. Like Involving Dissolving and Liquid Explorations, the unit provides real-life experiences with chemistry and conveys key science/math skills and concepts, including cause and effect.

Secret Formulas speaks to the need expressed by many primary school teachers for more hands-on physical science activities. It makes an excellent connection to a number of other GEMS guides, including Involving Dissolving and Liquid Explorations. The extraordinary level of student enthusiasm and involvement makes the educational value of these inventive activities no secret at all!
