Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.
Puppet Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make a marionette puppet and put on a show. Learners will explore color, design, fabrication and storytelling through this activity.
Make Your Own Rainstick
Source Institutions
In this activity, leaners build their very own rainsticks, an instrument filled with pebbles and seeds that create sounds like falling rain. Save costs by using material found around the home.
Make and Fly a Helicopter
