Plush Paint Pail Pals
Students make their own magnets out of old paint containers. They make familiar characters like Elmo and the Grouch from Sesame Street. They watch a demonstration and then make their own.
Curated OER
What a Can Can Do
Students explore properties of cans (including aluminum and steel) as they rotate through stations. They experiment with magnets, weight differences, resistance to corrosion and temperature conductivity.
Curated OER
Fishy Fun
Students review the correspondent /ai/ = long a and break into groups of five. They use a fishing pole with a magnet attached to "fish" for words that contain the /ai/ sound in it. If they catch a word that does not contain the /ai/...
