Good morning, welcome to our Homeschool Resources: High School Virtual Lab Simulations & Education World – Easter Science. Would you take a look at the websites being shared this morning and let me know if you’ve used these with your students or not.

Education World – Easter Science– Grades Pre-K – 8, with parental supervision
Education World offers a myriad of age-appropriate cross-curriculum lesson plans. We are looking at Science today but this is certainly a resource to bookmark and return to often.
When you get to the webpage, scroll down to see a hands-on “eggs-periment” that teaches about density.
There are also ideas and activities to extend the lesson by introducing students to additional experiments to help demonstrate why people and things float more readily in Great Salt Lake than in most other bodies of water:
- Great Salt Lake Saltwater Density Experiment
- Exploring Density
- Great Salt Lake’s Buoyancy and Density
- Bathtub Physics
- More “Eggs-perimenting” Fun
And the fun goes on teaching other scientific concepts! (Appropriate grades for each experiment are indicated in parentheses.)
- Egg Magic (Grades PreK-3)
- Eggs Don’t Break? (Grades PreK-3)
- Egg Fun (Grades K-6)
- Bouncing Eggs in Science (Grades K-8)
- Egg Drop and Air Pressure (Grades 3-6)
- The Shrinking Egg (Grades 3-8)
- Make a Flying Wing (Grades 4-8)
- Diffusion and Semi-Permeable Membranes (Grades 4-8)
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
