Innovative investigations like these will empower middle and high
school students to explore the states of matter and changes of
state-using inexpensive toys and common household items like
balloons, paper bags, Silly Putty, facial tissues, and plastic
Easter eggs. Classroom-tested and proven effective, these
activities draw students in with toys, gadgetry, fun-to-do
experiments, and observations of scientific phenomena in everyday
events. Students will see solid rock candy form as a sugar solution
evaporates; inflate a balloon using dry ice; and use the BedBugs
game to learn about the behavior of solids, liquids, and gases.
You'll find 24 motivating, reproducible projects in all-ready to
use and clearly referenced to the National Science Education
Standards, with comprehensive materials lists, procedures, content
review, and extension activities included. Teaching Science with
TOYS is an activity-based, discovery-oriented approach developed by
National Science Foundation-funded teacher training programs at
Miami University of Ohio. The programs promote toys and household
items as ideal science materials because they're already a
user-friendly, everyday part of a young person's world.
As a child or as an adult, most of us find it difficult to walk
past a colorful display of toys without pausing, smiling, and
taking a closer look. The urge to roll the truck down the hill,
bounce the Silly Putty[, or wind up the walking dinosaur is nearly
irresistible. We typically associate toys with fun, discovery, and
creativity. In contrast, if presented with a display of chemistry
and physics experiments, "fun, discovery, and creativity"
unfortunately would not be the words that come to most peoples'
minds. Our idea was to teach basic chemistry and physics principles
using toys, thus capitalizing on the natural attractiveness of toys
and also showing that physical science is an integral part of our
everyday experiences. Exciting projects use ordinary toys and play
materials to demonstrate chemistry principles. [ 42 activities
