My kids love gardening - and depending on if you use seeds or plants you can measure growth though time and length, use a rain gauge, even create an irragation system (Angel Smith)<br /><br />What about dinosaur bones in the sandpit , burying them and finding them , or treasure re : pirates...a teacher i worked with made dinosaur eggs with the children and placed plastic dinosaurs in them, the children kept which ones they found. For transforming she could get the children to build a volcano in the sand and add bi-carb and vinegar and some food colouring for effect (Jennifer Dalgleish)Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127145030356341005.post-2127214048954564462011-07-17T23:07:20.939+01:002011-07-17T23:07:20.939+01:00Potion lab sounds great.

Schemas are a pattern of repeatable behaviour - so a selection of containers with available water would enable the observation of a variety of schemas. Mathematical encouragement could then be encouraged with volume, prediction, size, weight, distance carried/transportation, sorting, counting, mixing etc. We've got a water wheel in our water tray which is great for 'containing' and 'rotation'Juliet Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035975039896986525noreply@blogger.com
