There are many different activities that you can do at home with your child. Today's activity I have to share with you is a water activity.
Keep a towel handy!
For this activity, you will need:
- One large container filled 2/3 with water
- A variety of random household items (make sure you take a near equal amounts of floating items and items that sink)
- Tablecloth or paper towels (Prepare to make a mess)
Show your child each object (kids usually love seeing some of their toys included) and ask which items they think will sink, and which will float. Ask why they think some things will sink or float, then let them place the items in the water and find out!
Kids have a blast with this activity!
This is a great idea!!! I can't wait to try it in my classroom!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! So simple, but educational.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love how you are trying to keep your students learning even outside of the classroom!
ReplyDeleteThis activity is so engaging. Learning can occur both inside and outside of the classroom, and you certainly highlight that point.
ReplyDeleteI love how interactive and engaging your blog is. It is also an easy read to help motivate students.
Great idea! I love how easy this activity is to prepare for. I will definitely try it out!
ReplyDeleteA great way of connecting parents and children at home. Also a good way of sneaking learning into fun experiments :)
