    Place Value, Oobleck Science, and Free Easter Coloring

    Here are two of the science skills we are working on – they are hands on and super fun!         
    Oobleck 

    Just mix a little bit of corn starch and water and you have such a great teaching tool! Both a solid and a liquid, depending on how to hold it. It you squeeze it tightly, it’s solid and chalky. If you let it rest in your hand and warm up, it oozes out as a liquid.

    oobleck - is it a solid or liquid? Can it hold a person standing on it? What if the person stops moving?

    Circle Fliers

    These are simple little contraptions that fly really well depending on the way it’s made. If you have very few supplies available, this lesson lends itself to exploring air, gravity, engineering, prediction, modifications, and just plain fun. We went to the top of a hill to see whose would fly the farthest! Just a straw with two loops of paper (we used cut up index cards) on each end.

    Freebie Time!
    My students love this stained glass style of coloring sheet for seasonal holidays! We did one for St. Patrick’s Day and it was so popular that we will try this one for Easter. The thick black lines allow for success even for my students with fine motor issues – they are so proud! When they are done, we rub a small bit of oil over them to make them translucent. They are mesmerizing when hung on the windows for Easter!

      Hi Susanna,

      I love that Easter colouring page! Thanks so much. I also liked your place value game idea. I can already think of a differentiation for it: the higher level students can create an actual image with the colored boxes. That way, the student would have to give the "correct" number for the box to be filled in to create the image. The students could try and discuss and image. Too fun! Thanks and happy weekend friend!

      Thank you for the coloring page! We'll rub veggie oil on top to make it look like stained glass! Happy weekend, Susanna!

      OH I love that coloring page. I am going to copy Sandy and use her magic oil trick to make it look like stained glass. πŸ™‚ The little note may have been my favorite thing… you should make copies of that into a notepad and sell them- because how many people would you love to say that to?! πŸ™‚ Have a great week!
