Students at AVCato, Joy James, and Castleberry Elementary School enjoyed a puppet show this past Friday, The Marshmallow Incident written by Judi Barrett. Being the first puppet show for many of the students, laughter and enjoyment seeped out of the library! Our puppets - Bob, Sally, and the Ambidextrous Knight, showed students that reading is fun!
Not only did students see the joy in reading, but also discovered that they are scientist!
TEKS covered: Matter and energy. (5.C) The student knows that matter has measurable physical properties and those properties determine how matter is classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling.
Following the puppet show the students hypothesized what they thought would happen to the physical properties of a marshmallow in -heat -water - and ice.
They discussed: the size, shape, texture, temperature, and color changes in each environment.
Check out the video showing how the physical properties changed below:
It is so nice seeing the library as an extension of the classroom. Great job supporting the science TEK in the puppet show.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms. Smith-Faulkner! I am so excited that the libraries of CISD are a source of collaboration, extension, and invention! CISD's support, goals, and vision empower the library to truly be an extension of the classroom. Thank you for coming to the show and for all of your support. We are looking forward to the next puppet show on Nov. 7th! More Science TEKS to come!!
