"Lab before blab" lights up elementary school science

Clip: 11/20/2013 | 3m 39s

Fourth graders build a basic circuit. Fifth graders learn force to throw a rubber cat.

Elementary school teacher Leigh Ann Anderson does "the lab before the blab", giving her students lab experiments and letting them work through solutions before delivering the science lesson. Fourth graders must make a light bulb glow with tin foil and a battery, and fifth graders need to figure out force and trajectory to throw a rubber cat one meter.
