What Does It Teach?

Learn how to use eye-catching science experiments as object lessons to teach “first day” lessons in a most unforgettable way. Inflate balloons using only a single breath of air, turn a liquid into a solid with a snap of a finger, uncover your true colors as the student build UV color-changing bead bracelets, and create a powerful lesson on invisible influences that affect our daily interactions with other students. Use all of these experiments and more creative ideas as you build metaphors for concepts like goal setting, team building and effective communication.
