I really don't recall much about it, but simply consider that the materials cost almost nothing - decaying fruits, vegetables, things like that. She likely can come up with the ideas herself, simply by considering what could be done with the "garbage".TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-7491869750856223692010-10-24T19:52:13.186-04:002010-10-24T19:52:13.186-04:00Thanks Marfa!

So I would say most of them are over the age of 7 for sure... <br /><br />really appreciate your thoughts, thanks!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-38541503847155370152010-10-24T19:41:45.018-04:002010-10-24T19:41:45.018-04:00How old are the children?

I have taken classes on science and clarification of this...often experiments are interesting, but not easily understood. We do a lot of simple water table activities...using:<br />*large bin <br />*funnel<br />*hose<br />*small containers<br />*turkey baster<br />*soap<br />*manual egg beaters (use with soap to make foam)<br />a child can explore the properties of water, make predictions, watching it overflow, how fast it goes through the funnel, learning physics, a little chemistry, measuring cups? or using old recycled containers from your kitchen!<br />Also you can do the same things with sand...simple, but valuable.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411789923271959623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-79393357247510701392010-10-23T15:35:28.187-04:002010-10-23T15:35:28.187-04:00Biss -
