Explore sink or float, compare paper towels, investigate shadows, test dissolving, roll a ball down ramps, or examine fallen leaves. A shared recording prompt asks for the question, prediction, method, result, and learning.

Choose materials and supervision to suit your students. Use warm rather than hot water and keep experiment materials separate from food or drinks.
