I. Choose songs that are clear, make sense and do not contain a lot of unknown
vocabulary.
Write out the song lyrics but leave gaps instead of some words. For example, gap all the
verbs or adjectives.
Students listen and fill in the missing words. They may need to listen two or three times.
If you feel students will find this difficult, write the missing words randomly around the text
and so the students have an idea what they are listening out for.
Write out the song lyrics, but this time jumble whole lines and students have to put them
into the correct order while listening to the song.
You may wish to cut up the lines, to make the task easier for the students – or get them
to cut up the sheet before the activity.
An easier activity:
Write out the lyrics of the song, but make about 20 mistakes e.g. change the tense, write
an opposite or synonym instead of the correct word. The students listen.
The first time ask them to underline the words that are different and the second (or third)
time actually write what they hear above the word or phrase that is wrong.
After each hearing they can check with each other – in a mixed ability classroom this
ensures no-one is left behind and gets unmotivated.
After they have checked that they got the right words, ask them to go through and see if
the mistakes were words or phrases that were the same, similar or opposite in meaning:
a good focus on vocabulary and/or grammar.

V. Discussion of themes
Choose a song that deals with a topic of interest to your students (e.g. Imagine by John
Lennon which is about peace and brotherhood, Money by Pink Floyd or Money Money
Money by Abba etc), do a listening activity like a gap fill, then follow up with a careful
reading of the song and a discussion on its theme(s).
VI. Presentations
In most of the world a class of teenagers will be full of music fans. I have yet to find a
teenager who likes no music at all. By using the theme of music with children of this age
group, they will be more motivated than if the topic is of no interest to them.
They produce a presentation – which can cover the biography of their chosen
musician(s), their career. It can be a talk, a role play, interview, sketch
They can use cassettes or CDs, posters, handouts to support their presentation
This could also take a written form – be produced as a poster, booklet, magazine
article ideas for using songs to teach grammar.
When working on the passive voice with your students, bring in a few well-known
songs (no matter whether in L1 or English) and ask: Who was that song sung /
written by? A great example of the passive voice in use and also drawing in the
students’ knowledge of the world.
Ask students to get into teams. In their teams they must come up with at least 10
similar questions (they could do some research for homework) about songs.
Organize a class quiz, where team members challenge each other with questions
like: Who were ‘Satisfaction’ and ‘Brown Sugar’ sung by? (Rolling Stones) or they
could bring in tapes/CDs (if this is possible) or sing a snippet of the song and ask
the questions.

For the teacher
Make the task EASIER for yourself by grouping all the phrases which are
identical.
Play the song according to the level of your students. (ie: for struggling
students, play the song line by line, make it a little more difficult by playing the
song continuously and stopping only when requested, make it a much more
difficult by playing it continuously) .
Play the song according to your level, (ie: play the song line by line, or make it a
little more difficult by playing the song continuously and stopping only when
necessary, or to make it a much more difficult by playing it continuously).
Upper-intermediate students should play the song first, then try and arrange the
lyric strips from memory before listening to the song.
Instruct your students to listen to the music and put the strips in order.

identical).

Volcano
A volcano is a place on the Earth's surface (or any other planet's or moon's
surface) where molten rock, gases and pyroclastic debris erupt through the earth's
crust. Volcanoes vary quite a bit in their structure - some are cracks in the earth's
crust where lava erupts, and some are domes, shields, or mountain-like structures
with a crater at the summit.
Magma is molten rock within the Earth's crust. When magma erupts through the
earth's surface it is called lava. Lava can be thick and slow-moving or thin and
fast-moving. Rock also comes from volcanoes in other forms, including ash (finely
powdered rock that looks like dark smoke coming from the volcano), cinders (bits of fragmented
lava), and pumice (light-weight rock that is full of air bubbles and is formed in explosive volcanic
eruptions - this type of rock can float on water). Volcanic eruptions can cause great damage and
the loss of life and property.
Extreme Volcanoes:
The largest volcano on Earth is Hawaii's Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa is about 6 miles (10 km) tall
from the sea floor to its summit (it rises about 4 km above sea level). It also has the greatest
volume of any volcano, 10,200 cubic miles (42,500 cubic kilometers). The most active volcano in
the continental USA is Mt. St. Helens (located in western Washington state).
The largest volcano in our Solar System is perhaps Olympus Mons on the planet Mars. This
enormous volcano is 17 miles (27 km) tall and over 320 miles (520 km) across.

Successful Science Fair Projects
Title
Background or Purpose
The background section is where you include information that you already know about your
subject and/or you tell your project readers why you chose the project you did. What were you
hoping to find out from the project?
31
The Question (Or Selecting Your Subject)
If you are doing a project about something that interests you, you will likely enjoy the
research more and stick with it long enough to get some good data.
Remember, you are being a scientist.
Scientists go to work each day because they are interested in what they
are studying and because they are curious to know the answers to the
questions they are researching.
Other students who like sports have done experiments with the
equipment for their sport: Do new tennis balls bounce higher
than old ones? Do basketballs that are fully inflated bounce
better than flatter ones? These projects just require some tennis
balls or basketballs, some volunteer "bouncers" and a meter
tape or meter stick!
There are many good sources for science fair project questions. The Neuroscience For
Kids Web Site has some neuroscience-related questions that might spark your interest.
Projects involving food - tasting, smelling etc - can be very simple to set up yet also very
interesting. "Can blindfolded people taste the difference between ...?" You can also get
lots of ideas from science trade books, such as Janice Van Cleave's books ("Biology for
Every Kid" etc). If you browse through these books at a store or library, they may give
you some ideas for a project of your own.
32
Project Guidelines
Prediction or Hypothesis
Once you have come up with a question that you can actually test
with materials at your disposal, you need to figure out how to set up
the tests. If you will have a survey for your participants to fill out, get
that written up and duplicated. If you will need a chart to write down
your test results, get it made. If you take the time to make it look nice with a straight-
edge, you can include the actual chart or survey instrument in your project write-up. This
really impresses the judges!
Let your teacher or science fair coordinator know what your question is and how you plan to go
about testing it. They will likely have some good suggestions to save you lots
of time and trouble. Once you have their go-ahead, then make a list of your
materials, gather them up and GET STARTED! If you are really doing
science, you will probably find that some things don't go quite as you had
predicted they would. You will have to modify your research methods or even
33
your original question. You may have to add more materials to your list. My
students often get discouraged by this, but actually it is a good thing. This is
how science really works!
Keep good notes of the things you have tried and plan to include even the
"didn't-works" and "mess-ups" in your project report. Be sure to try your
experiment several times to be sure you have enough data to make a logical
conclusion. If you tell me that one brand of cereal gets soggier in milk but you've only tried each
cereal in one cup of milk, I would suspect that maybe it was a fluke; you need lots of "trials"
(generally at least 3; the more, the better) for believable data. Remember, too, that you want to
keep all of the experimental factors (variables) the same except the one you are testing. In the
cereal experiment, it wouldn't be fair to all of the cereals if you left one brand in milk for one
minute and tried the others after two minutes or something like that. Again, GET STARTED
EARLY on carrying out your project. You can't still be doing the experiment the day before the
project is due and expect to have a first-class write-up!
In science fair projects as in life, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Plan to take pictures of
the materials you used and of the experiment as it is being carried out. If you get started early,
you will have time to have the pictures developed and include them as part of your report. (Or if
you are lucky and your school has cameras that will take pictures and put them right into the
computer, you will have time to learn how to do that and print them out for your report.)
Results or Data
The results section is where you tell your reader the actual numbers (or other
data) that you got as you were doing the experiment. (In the tennis ball
experiment, this would be a table with the different brands of balls and the
actual heights each of them bounced on each trial.) You might also include a
graph, if your data lends itself to it. But you do not tell your interpretation of the
data - that's for the last section.
Conclusion
In the conclusion you finally get to tell your readers what you found out from the experiment, or
how you interpret your data. Students often like to use this section to expand upon how much
they liked doing the experiment (and how wise the teacher was to require such a good
assignment!) or how much they learned from it ... but really this section should be focused on
what you learned about your original question and hypothesis. For example, DID cheaper
cereals get soggier in milk faster?
The Display
Project displays tend to be another source of great frustration to students, teachers and
parents ... but they don't have to be! Again, what you need to do is PLAN AHEAD and then
34
THINK OF YOUR AUDIENCE. Remember that they weren't there
when you did the experiment, so what seems obvious to you will not
be obvious to them unless you make it extremely clear.
TORNADO IN A BOTTLE
MATERIALS:
PROCESS:
Fill one of the bottles two-thirds full of water.
Take the Tornado Tube and twist it on the first bottle. Then, grab the second bottle and
attach it to the Tornado Tube.
Or use duct tape to fasten the two containers. Make sure to tape tightly to make sure
that no water will leak out when you turn the bottle over.
Turn the tornado maker, so that the bottle with the water is on top. Swirl the bottle in a
circular motion. Most tornadoes form counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. A
tornado will form in the top bottle as the water rushes into the bottom bottle.
*If you want to get creative, you can also use food coloring to make the tornado have a
color and glitter to represent debris.
EXPLANATION:
The swirling motion you give the bottle forms a vortex and is a
easy way to create your own tornado.
PROCESS:
Put the empty bottle on a table.
Peel the boiled egg.
Light a match and drop it into the bottle. Repeat about three or four times.
Quickly put the egg over the mouth of the bottle.
EXPLANATION:
What happens? The lit match heats the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands and
takes up more room. As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out of the bottle. When the
matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts, which takes up less room. This
35
creates a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside the
bottle. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces the egg
to get sucked into the bottle.
*To get the egg back out of the bottle, tilt the bottle and blow
air into it. Make sure you get out of the way, because the
egg will shoot out.
WATER CYCLE
MATERIALS:
pixie cup
baggy
tape
water
PROCESS:
Tape the baggy with the cup of water inside of it to a window that the sun comes in.
What happens? With the heat of the sun, the water evaporates from the cup which you can not
see and condenses on the inside of the bag into little water droplets. These droplets eventually
drip down to the bottom of the bag.
EXPLANATION:
TORNADO IN A JAR
MATERIALS:
PROCESS:
Fill the jar about three-quarters full of water.
Put a teaspoon of the liquid soap into the jar.
Also, add a teaspoon of vinegar into the jar.
36
Tighten the lid and shake the jar to mix up the
ingredients.
Now, swirl the jar in a circular motion.
The liquid will form a small tornado.
*If you want to get creative, you can also use food
coloring to make the tornado have a color and glitter to
represent debris
EXPLANATION:
The swirling motion you give the bottle forms a vortex
and is a easy way to create your own tornado.
MAKE LIGHTNING
MATERIALS:
PROCESS: http://galeria.dibujos.net
Push the thumbtack through the center of the aluminum pie pan from the
bottom
Pick up the aluminum pie pan using the pencil as a handle and place it on
top of the upside-down Styrofoam plate that you were just rubbing with the
wool.
Touch the aluminum pie pan with your finger. You should feel a shock. If
you don’t feel anything, try rubbing the Styrofoam plate again.
Once you feel the shock, try turning the lights out before you touch the pan
again. Check out what you see! You should see a spark!!
37
EXPLANATION:
Why does this happen? It’s all about static electricity. Lightning happens
when the negative charges, which are called electrons, in the bottom of the
cloud or in this experiment your finger are attracted to the positive charges,
which are called protons, in the ground or in this experiment the aluminum
pie pan. The resulting spark is like a mini lightning bolt.
PROCESS:
Go outside to an area where you have a lot of room. This experiment is messy!
Open the bottle of soda carefully. Position the bottle on the ground, so that it will not tip over.
*Diet soda works better than regular soda. Plus, diet doesn't leave a sticky mess.
Unwrap the roll of Mentos. The goal is to drop the Mentos into the bottle at the same time, which
is very tricky. One method is to roll a piece of paper into a tube just big enough to hold the loose
Mentos. Put a card under the roll and on top of the bottle top, so you can pull the card and the
candies will just drop in at once.
Drop all of the Mentos into the bottle at the same time and then move out of the way just as
quick as you can.
Watch the eruption!
EXPLANATION:
Why does this happen? Water molecules attract to other, linking together to form a tight mesh
around each bubble of carbon dioxide gas in the soda. When you drop the Mentos in the soda,
the gelatin and gum arabic from the dissolving candy break the surface tension. Each Mentos
candy has thousands of pits on the surface. These tiny pits are called nucleation sites, perfect
places for the carbon dioxide bubbles to form. As soon as you drop the Mentos in the soda,
bubbles form all over the surface of the candy. Couple this with the fact that the candies are
heavy and sink to the bottom of the bottle and you're just asking for an explosion. When all this
gas is released, it literally pushes all the liquid up and out of the bottle in an amazing blast.
CREATE EVAPORATION
MATERIALS:
hand sanitizer
PROCESS:
Pour some hand sanitizer on your hands and rub your hands together, as if you were washing
your hands.
Your hands are now wet, so do your hands feel cooler? Answer: Yes!
After waiting a few seconds, are your hands now dry? Answer: Yes!
38
The hand sanitizer evaporated off your hands and your
hands felt cool, therefore evaporation is a cooling
process!
Repeat the steps above, but this time move your hands
through the air. This simulates the wind. Do your hands
feel even colder now? Answer: Yes!
EXPLANATION:
MELTING SNOW
MATERIALS:
a glass cup
thermometer
snow
PROCESS:
Fill the glass up with snow.
Place the thermometer in the glass filled with snow and take the temperature.
Write down the temperature on a piece of paper.
Bring the glass inside and wait until for about 5 minutes until the snow melts.
Now, take the temperature again. What happened?
EXPLANATION:
The temperature of the snow was much colder than the temperature of the melted snow or
water. Water freezes at 32 degrees. When the glass of snow was brought inside, the
temperature indoors was much warmer than 32 degrees and melted the snow. This is how the
melting process works!
WHAT IS LIGHTNING?
MATERIALS:
PROCESS:
Turn all of the lights off in the room. (The darker the better!)
Rub the balloon on your hair for several seconds.
Then hold the statically charged balloon near the end of the light bulb. This will illuminate the
bulb.
Repeat the demonstration as many times as desired.
39
EXPLANATION:
When you rub the balloon on your hair, the balloon builds up an electrical charge (static
electricity). Touching the charged balloon to the end of the fluorescent light bulb causes the
electrical charge to jump from the balloon to the bulb. This is what illuminates the light bulb.
Lightning is an electrical discharge within a thunderstorm. As the storm develops, the clouds
become charged with electricity. Scientists are still not sure exactly what causes this, but they do
know that when the voltage becomes high enough for the electricity to leap across the air from
one place to another, lightning flashes! Lightning can spark within a cloud, from one cloud to
another, from a cloud to the ground, or from the ground to a cloud.

Squeeze a drop of the dish soap in the center of the bowl.
Watch what happens!
EXPLANATION:
The dish soap does not mix with the milk. Instead, it floats on top and spreads over the surface. As it
spreads, it grabs the food color of the primary colors you dropped into it. Where the color meet, the

PINWHEEL WIND COLLECTOR
MATERIALS:
pin, scissors, sharpened pencil with eraser and square piece of construction paper
(about 8.5" x 8.5")
PROCESS:
Lay the square piece of paper flat on a table and draw a line diagonally
from each corner to the opposite corner.
Mark the center of the square where the two lines cross and punch a small
hole through it with the pencil tip.
Cut along each line stopping about an inch from the hole in the center of
the square.
Take the pin and punch a hole in the top left corner of each of the four
flaps. (No two holes should be next to each other.)
Pick up a flap at each punched corner and carefully curve it over toward the center hole,
securing it with the pin. Repeat this for the other flaps.
When all four flaps are held by the pin, carefully lift the paper without letting the flaps unfurl.
Lay the pencil flat on a table and push the point of the pin into the side of the eraser.
EXPLANATION:
Now your pinwheel is complete! Pick up the pinwheel near the pencil point and let it catch the
wind. You will notice that the pinwheel only spins when the wind hits its center.
MATERIALS:
balloon
41
PROCESS:
Blow up the balloon and tie it.
Rub it against your hair on top of your head.
Watch what happens! Your hair will stick up!
This also happens when you take off your wool hat in the wintertime. You usually notice static
electricity in the winter when the air is very dry. During the summer, the air is more humid. The
water in the air helps electrons move off you more quickly, so you can’t build up as big of a
charge.
EXPLANATION:
Why does this happen? It’s because of static electricity! When you rub the balloon on your hair,
you’re covering it with little negative charges. Now that each of the hairs has the same charge,
they want to repel each other. In other words, the hairs try to get as far away from each other as
ible. The farthest they can get is by standing up and away from each other. Talk about a bad hair
day!
