Science Sealed with a Chocolate Kiss!
At Parkway in Mrs. Baitzel’s ESL class sometimes, Science is messy. However, the messy experiments are usually yummy! 4th grade ESL students learned about heat transfer by comparing a chocolate kiss in the opened hand vs. chocolate kiss in the closed hand. They then made predictions about what would happen to Hershey's kisses on the ice cube and over the hot steam of hot tea. Although English is their second language, they were able to communicate in spoken and written form about energy transfer, heat, as well as compare/contrast different situations we observed chocolate kisses in.
