Conversation Hearts Lab for Valentine’s Day
My chemistry students requested that we do something fun for Valentine’s Day. We haven’t done a lab in a while, so I put together a Conversation Hearts Lab.
I saw that you could do the standard Dancing Raisins activity with conversation hearts, so I decided to try it out. It turns out I should have just stuck with raisins.
Some of my students were able to get their conversation hearts to dance in their cup of soda, but most of the hearts just sunk or floated. 🙁 They still enjoyed themselves, though!
