Science For TeachingLearn Science with Mr. McWizContact us on (727) 314-8044 or info@mrmcwizscienceforteaching.comEpisode OneAir and Air Pressure OverviewIn this Episode one video we use household items (such as two metal cans, newspaper, yardstick, a glass, cheesecloth, a plastic lid, simple hair dryer, a balloon and a ping pong ball) to show you how to turn these materials into fascinating questions that will lead children in the magic of air pressure. You will be surprised at the number of experiments you can do, questions you could ask and the predictions the children can make with these simple household items. Mr. McWiz teaches you how to make up and set up the experiments so you can visualize how you yourself present the science demonstration. This video teaches the “why” on air pressure demonstrations and makes you feel more comfortable engaging your students with curiosities of the physical world around them. Great white board diagrams with explanations of the science concepts are given making it easier for you to understand the reasons why these demos work. A ping pong ball on a string will amaze you when it gets close to a water stream! A brief discussion of the air in our atmosphere, its weight, and how air can be compressed. will fascinate you and your children. This video ultimately teaches you “how” to teach why airplanes can fly! Mr. McWiz challenges you with questions that he has asked which most people have never thought about before. The Socratic method of teaching is emphasized throughout these fascinating lessons. Over 40 minutes of science fun that might make you feel like a science expert!
