Over the past few years, a lot of study has focused on the oxytocin molecule. Research has revealed that it may be involved in bonding between people and facilitating trust. It is released through touch and gender differences have been found regarding it's effects. Our oxytocin laptop sticker is of the molecular structure of oxytocin. As you can see the structure is long and complex, our sticker measures approximately 10 inches by 4 inches. It is made of weatherproof vinyl. It can be used on most surfaces such as car windows, lap tops, lockers etc. It is removable, but not reusable as removal will damage the sticker. It is easy to apply and it comes with instructions. We offer both black and white. Please select your preference at checkout.

Students love learning about space! Teaching the order of the planets from the sun is such a fun lesson, and students love making this Planet Flipbook. I created this flipbook as a hands-on way for students to learn the order of the planets, but also to pull in some fine motor skills practice. To begin […]

My 9-year-old son's first science unit this year is electricity. While it's usually a struggle to get him to tell me about his school day, the reports about what he's learning in science roll off his tongue easily. No nagging required. In summary, he's loving it. To take his school lessons further at home, I snagged an amazing book by Laurie Carlson. Thomas Edison for Kids: His Life and Ideas has everything from a timeline to detailed biographical info and my favorite - 21 activities. Making an electromagnet is one of them. Here's what we used and how we did it. 2-3 feet of ball wire (copper wire with a plastic insulated sheathing) Large nail Tape (optional) C or D battery small metal objects (paper clips, thumbtacks, etc.) Scissors (or a wire stripping tool) Wrap the wire around the nail making a coil, leaving four to six inches of wire extending from each end. Do your best to wrap it as tightly as you can. Trim about 1/2 inch of the plastic covering from each end of the wire. If you have a wire stripping tool, use it (we did) or score with a pair of scissors and using your fingernails pull the plastic coating from the wire. Now, if you've got tape handy, cut a long strip and use it to secure the battery to the table. Hold the nail wrapped wire and pinch the ends of the wire so they touch both metal ends of the battery. DON'T TOUCH THE EXPOSED WIRE; as electric current passes through it, these ends will become hot. Now take your small metal objects (we used safety pins) and see if the electricity in the battery has made the ends of the nail magnetic. What happens if the wire's connection with the battery is broken? Is the nail still a magnet? (Nope.) Electromagnets played a significant role in Thomas Edison's inventions. He used them to separate premium iron from low-grade unusable iron ore, that was collected from the New Jersey mines he owned. His discovery of the electromagnetic wave lead to the invention of the radio in the 1890s. Today, electromagnets are still at work in coin-operated vending machines! Want another great book to read? We liked National Geographic Kids Level 2 reader Thomas Edison by Barbara Kramer.
Don't let school year learning slip away this summer: use this chemistry worksheet to practice identifying elements.
Creative timelines are one of my favorite examples of useful visualizations. Not only do they convey lots of information in a simple way, they also provide
Measurement is an important skill in science as well as everyday life. These guidelines will help students understand and measure mass, length, volume, and temperature.
I have been having so much fun teaching heat transfer to my 6th graders! I am really mixing it up this year since we are transitioning to NGSS standards. There are so many fun and easy hands on a…
