Science of Everyday items: Toilet Paper & Non-Toilet Paper

Science of Everyday items: Toilet Paper
& Non-Toilet Paper

Workshop Date: October 28, 2021
Grades: Pre-K – 5

Presented By: Ben Lavender, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District

In this lesson, we use simple household materials to help us see what actually happens to our toilet paper and other kinds of paper after we flush them. Teachers will place toilet paper and non-toilet paper into recycled jars filled with water (a toilet model). They will then closely observe and sketch what happens to our paper after we flush.

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
