Diffusion In Liquids Science Experiment | Properties of Matter | Grade 2 3

Engage in a hands-on science experiment that explores the flow of liquids and thermal energy. The experiment includes a complete teacher guide and uses inexpensive supplies. You can make it a complete week of lessons with the further exploration and an anchor chart.

This Hands-On Exploration Includes

• Teacher Background and Tips
• Correlation to NGSS
• 6-Page Student Investigation Journal
• Exploration Station Activity with Worksheet
• Anchor Chart
• Investigation Rubric
• Answer Keys

This Science Exploration meets the Next Generation Science Standards

• NGSS Science and Engineering Practices K-2 and 3-5
• NGSS Matter and Its Interactions Grade 2

Students will use the scientific method to discover the effects of temperature on the diffusion of food coloring in water. They will observe molecules moving, and learn how to rank their observations. They will record observations and data, create a graph, summarize, and write a conclusion at their grade level. Students will expand their knowledge by exploring food coloring in other liquids in activity 2. Students will have a positive learning experience.

Teachers will enjoy immersing students in the scientific method. Teachers like the ease of use, background information, simple supplies, and ability to use it with their curriculum.

Great for science fairs, classrooms, clubs, or science camps.

Supplies Needed

Beakers or Heatproof Containers, Food Coloring, Stopwatch, Water, and liquids of choice for activity 2 (corn syrup, oil, milk, soda, etc.).
