Pinterest can be a very important tool to use in the classroom, especially when you need help planning a fun learning assignment for your students. You can use pinterest to compare some of the activities that you have done in your classroom with activities that other educators have used in their classrooms. You can also us pinterest to have your students find assignments for science and art fairs. 

I used pinterest to find assignments similar to one I created about scientific observations. i completed my assignment about 'Inflating a Balloon" using vinegar and baking soda to show how a balloon could be blown up by the gas created between the two ingredients. I learned that not only did the balloon inflate with those two ingredients but too much of those ingredients can cause the balloon to burst. While looking on pinterest  I seen how other individuals had done assignments very similar to mines, while using different ingredients. Below are pictures that I captured in chronological order while completing the assignment and a link to my project itself. 

All of the supplies needed for the project

Step 1: cover the bottom of the funnel with a balloon

Step 2: Pour baking soda threw the funnel inside the balloon 

Step 3: Pour vinegar into the empty bottle

Step 4: Attach the balloon (with baking soda inside) to cover
the bottle, without getting baking soda into the bottle

Step 6: Observe as that balloon inflates, while the
chemicals make gases when they are combined

Step 5: Hold balloon upright so that the baking soda
 will fall into the bottle of vinegar

The balloon will continue to inflate

As the baking soda dissolves into the vinegar,
the balloon will continue to stay inflated

About Me

Hi my name is Alexis McChorn, I was born and raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas, but later moved to Crossett, Arkansas at the age of nine. I am the 8th child out of nine children. I graduated from Crossett High School in May of 2013. I started studying at Henderson State University in August 2013, where my major was Human Service. Growing up I always wanted to become a social worker, because of my own experiences I had as a child. I grew up in the home with my aunt and her children after my mother passed away from a car crash.. So, after finding out the Henderson no longer has a major for Social Work, I changed my major to Early Childhood Education, so that I could become an elementary school teacher. I’ve always had a passion for teaching and growing up in a household with two teachers just made that passion stronger. I know that education is the key to success, so it would give me great honor by helping students achieve their goals, especially at a young age. Growing up I have always had a strong place in my heart for music. I started singing in my church choir at the age of 6, and soon became the lead singer for my choir at Hunters Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in West Crossett, Arkansas, by the time I graduated high school. Music is a gateway for me to express how I feel, and it also brings me closer to the Lord. This blog is basically about the world of music that we live in and it is everywhere. I will discuss different types of music, because I enjoy different kinds of music, and my opinion on what the artist was trying to say through his or her music. To me music comes from the heart and is how that artist is feeling at that moment in time. Music is everywhere, whether you are standing on an elevator, walking around the mall, or even eating in some restaurants, so I know that without music this world would be a different place.
