Sha's Edventure: Soda Pool
Uncle Raisin goes to Soda Pool.
Credit to Cikpuan Salleha Seth of Little Ibnu Sina.
I attended her workshop few years back while still homeschooling the children.
I love her ideas of introducing Science to children:
💡 Engage them with a story. Create characters. In this experiment, it was "Uncle Raisin."
💡 Skip the scientific term. Use simple words. Here, we used "zarah" in place of atom or molecules. Bonus ~ 💫 the word 'zarrah' is mentioned in the Quran, so it fits nicely with QLS.
To deliver the lesson, we incorporate The Whole Brain Teaching:
🎣 Less talk, more action.
So, where's the science in this activity?
1. Water is Allah's creation.
In water we see SIGNS of Allah's greatness.
2. The arrangement of zarah in water differs from solid and liquid.
3. In soda drink, we have the gas zarah + water zarah. They work as a team.
4. When Uncle Raisin, a solid, jumps into the pool of soda, he sinks and screams for help.
5. It is fitrah to help and care about others. The gas zarah is quick to help. Together, the gas zarah (carbon dioxide) attach themselves to Uncle Raisin to push him up.
6. This is an effort to reach a state of balance. Perfection. Equilibrium. (You can skip this big word if you like. For senior students, I exposed them to terms like this).
7. Only The Creator is The Most Perfect. The Most Stable. We can work hard towards being the best, but we can never be the best.
8. So, when Uncle Raisin hit the surface, does he live happily ever after like in fairy tale?
Other things happen.
New challenges arise.
9. The gas zarah pops, and Uncle Raisin drowns again.
10. The struggle continues. He goes up and down with the help of gas zarah in the water.
This is life.
Phew! Deep, indeed.
No pun intended.

Sha's Edventure: Digestion
Adab Makan
Digestion Process
This was an💡 'awesomely gross' 💡demonstration that we did in class.
Rehearse before you decide to do this.
You want to get the storyline smooth..so you can hit the punchline and drive the message home.
✨I did my homework here:
http://www.homeschoolroom.com/digestive-system-demonstration/
🔲 Materials and what they represent:
Biscuits/Bread = food we eat
Colored water = the drink
Container = mouth
Scissors = front teeth
Masher /your fingers = back teeth
Funnel = esophagus
Orange juice/100 plus = acid in stomach
Ziploc bag = stomach
Stocking / sock = small intestine
Paper towels = large intestine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teachers, you want to do this demonstration in class.
Watch your students' faces especially when the 'awesomely gross' process takes place.
Wallahu a'lam.

Sha's Edventure: Can you see Air?
We cannot see air, but it's there!
Experiment 1:
Trap air in a plastic bag.
Experiment 2:
Put tissue paper in a glass.
Turn the glass upside down and submerge it in water.
What happens to the tissue paper?
It remains dry.
The air 'zarah' protects the tissue paper.
Experiment 3:
Fill glass with water, 3/4 full.
Turn it upside down on a card.
What happens?
The water does not spill.
The air 'zarah' pushes the card upwards.

Sha's Edventure: Walking Water
Can water walk?
The Walking Water Experiment.
🌸 3 plastic cups/glasses
🌸 tissue rolls
🌸 water and food coloring
Do this experiment in groups of 3.
Fill in two glasses with water, 3/4 full.
One glass (the middle one) is left empty.
Add 3-4 drops of food coloring.
Twist tissue paper and make a bridge from one glass to the next.
Leave to rest.
After a few hours, you will see water in mixed colors in the middle glass.
After 24hours, the water level in all 3 glasses are almost the same.
Equilibrium.
Balance.
And yes, water walk!

English aside,
we did this activity to practise adab taalim (adab belajar):
1. Focus
2. Duduk Diam Dengar arahan.
3. Others first.
4. Help help help.
5. Respect teacher, friends, learning tools, place.
6. When things go wrong, point to self first.
Interesting observation indeed.

Sha's Edventure: Puffy Moon
Science L1
#qlsscience1
#puffypaint
#moonscience
Puffy Paint Moon, in conjunction with the upcoming Isra' Mi'raj.
~ 1/2 cup white glue
~ 1 1/2 cup shaving foam
For a class of 15 pax, 1 can of Gillette Lemon Lime Foam, RM12+ is good.
** The lemony scent is waaay better than other manly ones, in my humble opinion.
Engage:
Hold a styrofoam ball and ask, can you imagine what is this?
[ available at Mr. DIY, RM1.80 for 2 pcs]
A ball! They would say.
Ask them to keep guessing and hopefully, one will say..
MOON!
Explore:
1. Ask about the colors of the moon.
2. How far it is from the earth.
3. Ask about the moon surface. Is it smooth? Bumpy?
Take the styrofoam moon and poke with the back of whiteboard markers.
Let's make our moon with the puffy paint.
Create craters as well.
Explain:
Talk about how stars (big word would be meteorites) hit the moon.
This is why moon has craters.
Earth is protected by a shield (big word: atmosphere).
I always skip the BIG words.
Throughout the class, glorify Allah.
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
