Bubble Science Lab

Materials to prepare

• Connect your computer to the classroom screen and speakers. Check sound before children arrive. Internet is needed.

• Prepare m, a, d and an extra d card, mad/dad pictures and pencils. Keep a and d in place while changing the first letter.
• Keep the lesson slides ready if a video does not play. Read the English notes and model the action yourself.
