Feeling hungry? Sorry, no eating in class!
*Preparation: Simple ingredients (pasta shapes, oil, chopsticks, bowls, tray) that you can find in your pantry. Please help to assemble this for your child.
Step 1:
– Get your child to grip the pasta shapes with a pair of chopsticks.
– Get your child to think why he/she is able to grip the pasta shapes? (friction between the chopsticks and the pasta shapes)
Step 2:
– Play a game and get your child to time his/her speed gripping the pasta shapes.
– His time taken was 53s.
Step 3:
– Repeat the steps, this time, adding oil.
– His time taken was 1m03s.
Always do a review on each hands on, asking your child what he has seen or touched.
Make your child do a simple concept map and draw comparisons between the 2 experiments.
