Rutherford Rollers

Our 1st 3 days of school are designed as high-engagement days.  We do NOT go over expectations and supply lists...instead we start off immediately doing science!

This year I plan to start with Rutherford Rollers.  In my district we start with atoms.  Why not investigate identifying matter that you can't see with indirect inference...

Check it out!  I had so much fun doing this at a training.
