Science with Elmer's and a Giveaway!

I am so excited to bring you this Science Curriculum review today!  

Elmer's has always been a trusted brand in our home. Even if I did not home educate our children, we would still have a closet full of craft supplies from Elmer's. 

It's hard to believe that Elmer's has been around for six decades. Their products are helpful and I can always trust the Elmer's brand.  

When I was asked to review this Elmer's World of Glue - A Cross-Curricular Investigation of Adhesives from The Elmer's Teacher Club, I was excited. It fit into our grade levels K - 5 for all the children in our home.  It can be adapted for 1 - 25 students.

I was so pleased to read over the Teacher's Manual to find so many activities and handouts you can copy for all your students.  They even give you the academic standards - common core state standards in the manual. 

What we received: 

• Too Much Glue - Book by Jason Lefebvre (signed personally by Jason!)
• Elmer's School Glue
• Elmer's School Glue Naturals
• Elmer's Classic Glitter Glue (purple)
• The World of Glue Teachers Guide

All packaged in a nice box (that can easily be re purposed for other school crafts!). 

The first thing we did (as suggested) is read the book out loud. It's a funny, well illustrated book.  All the children and I cracked up at several parts.  

Then we took to the experiments.

What I loved is that there are several activities you can pick from (or do them all).  We choose the Compare and Contrast experiment. The children put a glob of glue onto a paper and observed each glue glob and we compared and contrasted them. Using the Venn diagram worksheet they provided for us.  (we only used the white and the glitter glue for this project)

Next up was the Make a Mini Glue Suit activity (you would understand this a little more if you read the book...hehehe).

Once we were done with our chosen activities, Molly decided she wanted to try another experiment that was not included in the original information give to us by Elmer's.   

We drew a heart on a piece of cardboard and then put a piece of wax paper over the top of it. Then she filled in the heart (onto the wax paper) with the Elmer's Glitter Glue.  We let it dry overnight and in the morning she peeled it off the wax paper.  We love the results.  She plans on making more and gluing them onto Valentine Cards for her grand mothers. 

I was very happy with the entire package and very blessed to be able to share this with you all!

I encourage you to click on over to the Elmer's Teacher Club and get in on the action. So many projects to help your home school!
