Martin Luther King

To teach the kids about Martin Luther King, we started with a simple egg experiment.  We had a brown egg and a white egg. 

 

 

 

 

I asked the kids to draw what they thought was inside the brown egg and the white egg.  We talked about our predictions.  A very interesting discussion =)

 

 

After drawing and discussing our predictions, we cracked open the eggs and saw that they were the same on the inside. 

 

 

Then we read a story about Martin Luther King, and I asked the kids to try and figure out what the egg experiment had to do with Martin Luther King.   One boy said, "Oh, I know!  The eggs looked different on the outside, but they were the same on the inside.  People can look different, but we are all the same too!" 

The science experiment went just as planned =)
