- Abstract:
-
To understand how fossils are formed, students model the process of fossilization by making fossils using small toy figures and melted chocolate. They extend their knowledge to the many ways that engineers aid in the study of fossils, including the development of tools and technologies for determining the physical and chemical properties of fossilized organisms, and how those properties tell a story of our changing world.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass. They carry out a guided investigation involving chocolate to see what happens when heat is applied to a material that appears solid at room temperature. They learn that glass has special physical properties that allow it to be formed into many different and beautiful objects. At the end, learners can eat the outcomes of the investigation! This activity is featured on pp.32-34 of the "Fireworks of Glass: The Art of Dale Chihuly" unit of study for grades 3-5.

" This seminar is designed to be an experimental and hands-on approach to applied chemistry (as seen in cooking). Cooking may be the oldest and most widespread application of chemistry and recipes may be the oldest practical result of chemical research. We shall do some cooking experiments to illustrate some chemical principles, including extraction, denaturation, and phase changes."

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly. Learners visit an online "hot shop" to discover how glass is transformed into works of art and create a virtual "Macchia" or a special glass form that Chihuly invented. They investigate the way that Chihuly uses drawings to design his sculptures and create their own sculptures by combining smaller parts to make a whole. This activity is featured on pp.35-38 of the "Fireworks of Glass: The Art of Dale Chihuly" unit of study for grades 3-5.

In this activity, learners make edible T. rex teeth (with adult assistance). The treat is a white and dark chocolate covered banana on a stick. The white chocolate represents the tooth and the dark chocolate represents the strong part of the T. rex tooth. While learners wait for each chocolate layer to cool, they must count the Cretaceous Period by fives all the way to 65 Cretaceous million years ago. This activity is featured on page 41 of the "Dinosphere" unit of study for K-2 learners.
