Science: Working Scientifically
This is a great lesson as part of a STEM project, a Science topic or as a stand alone lesson. Designed to show the difference between warm blooded and cold blooded animals, this lesson allows children to predict, conduct and review and experiment independently. This lesson is engaging based around Dinosaurs and requires a thermometer or data logger and two (different size) bottles filled with warm water.
