Experiment • During my time at Cass Tech, I was only able to do two experiments with the kids because of the time available and the time it took for supplies to be ordered and delivered. However, I did do an oxidationreduction lesson with the kids, as well as a percent solution exercise.

Triple Point •

In this experiment we filled soda bott bottles with dry ice to make pressure probes

• From this, the kids were able to use their pressure probes to find the triple point. The triple point is where there is all three states of mater present in the container. • The kids were able to see what the pressure needs to be at for all three states of matter to exist at the same time.

Silver Mirror Lab • The silver mirror lab is designed to teach the kids how to make % solutions. • We also talked about Oxidation and Reduction. • We will be doing this lab next week.

Kayla’s Personal Statement For this experience Mrs. Chopra already knew what she wanted to teach the kids. She had certain labs that focused on the points that she wanted to emphasize. So it was my job to make the lab fun and engaging. The way that I did this was to add fun pictures to the pages of the lab that were visually pleasing as well as compliment what was being taught in the lab. I also spent a lot of time talking to the kids and preparing them for the lab. I was able to see that there were 16 different children who needed learned in 16 different ways. I had to adjust for each child, and that is something that I wish my high school teachers would have
