This packet contains 5 easy investigations. The materials needed are easy to come by and inexpensive. I did not come up with these experiments myself, nor do I claim to. I have just compiled them onto easy to use sheets for students. But, don't let the name fool you! You will find these experiments useful even if you LOVE teaching science :)

Each experiment is described in detail on the front side and the backside provides students with space to record their observations. In addition, I have included an easy explanation of each experiment.

The experiments include:

Pass the Pepper - A surface tension experiment. Materials needed include a bowl, water, measuring cup, black pepper and dish detergent soap.

Balloon Kabob - A polymer experiment. Materials needed include a 9 inch latex balloon, wooden skewer and cooking oil.

Spinning Penny - A force experiment. Materials needed include a clear balloon and a penny.
