Graduated water
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Psalm 23:5
Objective: Add an equal amount of water to start a graduated bottle on the table.
Prepare the activities, knowing that something will overflow. A big towel is best to have
Materials (number) needed: DIY bottles (8)
masking tape (6 inches per bottle)
pencils (8)
1/4 cup measures (1 or 8)
water
- Hand out materials per child
- Fill measuring cups going around the circle
- Help each mark the water level on the tape after each fill
- Stop filling water at 3 of 4 quarter cups (CC.B.4.C)
- Add vegetable oil as the teacher for the remaining 1/4 of the bottle and discourage kids from shaking by leaving the cap off. The rest of the project is better with delayed gratification around shaking.
