fun with science

we've had a fun week of fun with science! now i am very limited in fun science activities. i loved science in high school - took an extra year as an elective - but i didn't know how to teach little people. so i used my "go-to-for-everything" website, google, to find activities! the last couple weeks we did experiments with CO2. for this week, i picked up 30 items around the house (see photo)

then on monday we played "is it magnetic?"

on wednesday we talked about what a hypothesis is and actually guessed what would happen with each object before playing "will it float?" and today, we played "make a mold", making impressions with the same objects in playdoh (i don't know if that's scientific, but it was a fun conclusion to using our basket of 30 little things.)
