16 safe experiments on the topics of water, air, fire, colors, and states of matter. Discovering the world and exploring everyday phenomena is both a challenge and fun for elementary school students. Experiments are ideal for science lessons - but how do you select them in a way that is appropriate for students, ensures safety, and allows students to participate actively? This book offers various ideas for insightful experiments on the topics of water, air, fire, colors, and states of matter. Each experiment includes a materials list and specific instructions for implementation. The goal is for students to conduct the experiments themselves under your guidance and thus discover the respective phenomena through inquiry. Safety is, of course, a priority: you will receive detailed safety instructions, and students will also earn a "laboratory license.".
