Teaching tips
Read Soda Pop Head before using the extension pages.
Keep the demonstration teacher-led and handle the can away from faces.
Keep the soda can sealed throughout the discussion. Tapping a shaken can is not a reliable guarantee against spraying; the comparison can remain a visual metaphor. Obtain Soda Pop Head separately for the suggested read-aloud.
