STEM Catalyst Reactions (Elephants Toothpaste)

Every year and sometimes every term you get at least 5 kids piping up demanding elephants toothpaste, they've all seen it in youtube and now they want it first hand, hey, who can argue with the demand. This lesson takes that high demand practical and makes them earn it, first to complete one task and correctly answer whatever question about catalysts earns the soap, the second might earn the catalyst, the third the conical flask...

CAUTION: I'f you're anything like me you'll want bigger, better, more colours... start small, then build up... or risk a multicoloured mountain all over the ceiling and desk!

Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

My style of teaching isn’t for everyone, I’m a dyslexic teacher who’s heard it all, my lessons are all catered towards accessibility (because if they were not I’d never be able to read them myself). Everything is short sharp and to the point, I don’t believe in endless writing, reams of printing, spoon feeding diagrams or pointless activities. Every minute matters!

Be sure to check out all my other resources, as a personal goal I intend to share all my resources at least once because hey, the government isn’t going to make it easier and we both know you are reading this way outside of your work hours.

Enjoy, comment or rate if you can, but most of all hang in there, they need you way more than you realise!
