Why Should I Use Science Experiments before Christmas Break?
We all know how students behave the week before a long break or special holiday! These experiments and investigations will keep your students fully engaged.
Behavior problems will decrease as student engagement increases!
Hands-on activities create a level of student buy-in. There’s motivation to learn and grow now that the student has enjoyed a learning activity.
Experiments allow for a great classroom discussion, problem-solving, and interactions between students and teacher.
Hands-on activities will also allow students to be social. This will be a great relationship building activity for students.
Have fun with your students! They are able to see your personality and you are able to learn more about them, too.

Hi, I’m Chloe—curriculum designer, teacher mentor, and creator behind Chloe Campbell Education. After over a decade in education, I’ve made it my mission to help elementary and middle school teachers take learning from “just one more worksheet” to wait...did we just have fun while hitting the standards? My resources are built for the real world—where time is short, behaviors are big, and engagement is everything. From hands-on science experiments to math games that trick students into actually loving review time, I create activities that are low-prep, high-impact, and grounded in what actually works.
