Homemade Modeling Clay Experiment

This document describes a learning session on how to make homemade playdough. The children formulated hypotheses about the necessary ingredients and conducted an experiment using flour, salt, water, and oil. They discovered that the flour turned into playdough due to a chemical reaction caused by the mixing of ingredients. In the end, the children evaluated what they learned, and the teacher assessed the session using a checklist.

SEQUENCE STRATEGIES
DIDACTICS
Problematic: We have the following situation: 'Miss Cesi went to the turquoise classroom to borrow modeling clay and
Miss Veronica went to the drawing and painting area and recalled that it had been used for her two days earlier.
volcano experiment, Miss Cesi got very sad
We ask:
Where did Miss Cesi go?
What was I looking for?

- ¿qué le dijo la miss verónica? ¿Cómo se sintió la miss cesi? ¿Qué podemos hacer para ayudarle a la miss cesi?
Motivation: with the boys and girls gathered in assembly, It will be motivated by presenting a surprise box.
Accompanied by the song 'Surprise Passes', expectations will be generated through the following
questions What will it be? Why did I bring it? What does the box contain? With the help of the children, it
Start proceed to discover the contents of the box in which there will be modeling clays, and in a bag, flour, salt
water, oil, powder to prepare drinks, a container, and a piece of paper with the following question: is this modeling clay
Will it be enough for Miss Cesi's thirty children? And will what is in the bag help solve the problem?
of Miss Cesi, is she no longer sad?
Prior knowledge: we promote dialogue through questions such as: What will it be? What is it for?
Will I have brought? How will the modeling clay be made? What ingredients will be used? Would you like to make modeling clay? and
If we make clay in the garden or at home, will it be the same as the one we buy? And what will it be called?
Purpose: the teacher communicates the purpose of the session: children today we are going to experiment on how to create
homemade modeling clays. With the boys and girls, compliance with the coexistence rules is agreed upon:
- take care of the materials.
- maintain order and cleanliness.
We problematize situations: gathered in assembly, we ask you to observe the things we have brought in the bag.
what we have brought. We pose the following questions:
What do we have here?
Development Will the flour be suitable for making playdough?
Are these materials usually used to make play dough?
Are we going to try to make them think we are children?
We invite you to the our hypotheses are: boys and girls to

Do you remember when we made our hypotheses to create the volcano when we did it with Coca-Cola soda?
and the mint candy did not turn out at the end, some said that the soda would change to blue, others said it would explode,
others, that if it is going to come out. We will also give possible answers as to whether it will come out or not and which hypothesis will be
correct

Generate and record data and information:


We note that the presented hypotheses are very varied, so it is necessary to carry out various
activities to know which ones are correct, therefore it is necessary to check which one is appropriate.
Request them to propose what they could do to verify their hypotheses. Then we ask: what can we
what to do to test our hypotheses?
We wrote down their answers on the board. Some of them may be:
Investigate in the library.
Conduct an experiment.
We organize into teams of 4 members so that everyone has tasks and pays attention to the instructions.

balloon alone and we showed them the materials.
Let's experiment!
Invite each group to conduct the experiment with guidance from the teacher.
What do we need?
2 cups of wheat flour
½ cup of table salt
¾ cup of water
2 teaspoons of cooking oil
1 packet of powder to prepare soft drinks
1 deep bowl for preparing the modeling clay
How will we do it?
Put the wheat flour in the container and add two tablespoons of salt.
Then add a glass of water (in which seven drops of dye have previously been added and)
removed). But not everything, little by little we are adding the water while we knead the water with the
flour. Until it takes the form of dough and is completely
mixed the flour and the water.3.
Then pour a little oil to seal that.

big dough and add a little oil and make balls so that drink
consistency of modeling clay).4.
And finally, let's play with our homemade playdough.
Answer questions:
What happened when the flour and water came together?
What has caused the flour to turn into playdough?
Analyze data and information:
In a dialogue in assembly, children are asked to compare the results obtained in the experimentation.
and what was presented in the document with the hypotheses proposed at the beginning of the inquiry.
Once they have developed their experiments and discussed what they observed.
The teacher explains to the boys and girls that in the experiment conducted a chemical reaction has occurred.
caused by man, many of them take place in laboratories where scientists are.
they provoke for various purposes: to create new medicines, to produce new materials or to prevent the
decomposition of food.
To all the changes that occur in matter by breaking them down and transforming them into other materials.
Different properties are known as changes or chemical reactions.
Evaluate and communicate

Ask the girls and boys: what activities helped us verify the answer to the initial question?
We talked with the boys and girls about what they learned. It encourages each work team to park
Draw the procedure for inflating the balloon in a paleographer.
Finally, the children evaluate the activity carried out through metacognition: Did they enjoy it?
Closure activity?
The teacher evaluates the learning activity with evaluation instruments such as the checklist.
