Discovery bottles
Discovery bottles
encourage the development of
observation skills,
predictability, scientific
concepts, and thinking
skills. Once made and placed in plastic carrying bins, they make a great center
activity that is inexpensive, and fun!
We will be making different coloured
discovery bottles in the classroom so that we learn about Blue. Red, Yellow and
Green.
The Discovery Bottles are NOT TO BE
OPENED!!!! They are just to explore and discover.
More ideas for your discovery bottles!
Dirt Bottle – Add dirt to a bottle, and
fill half of the bottle with water.
Sand Bottle – Fill the bottom of a bottle
with sand. Add water, to shake and see what happens when you shake the
bottle.Mix it up by using colored sand and/or water.
Relaxation Bottle – Add a small package of
confetti to the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle with syrup or gel and
water. It is a very relaxing experience to watch the glitter float and flutter
as you gently turn the bottle.
Magnetic Shavings Bottle –
Fill the bottle with magnetic shavings or pipe cleaners. Attach a magnet to the
top of the bottle with yarn. Observe the shavings or pipe cleaners move through
the bottle as you rub the magnetic wand over the side of the bottle.
Wave Bottle – Fill half of the bottle with
oil (cooking or baby), add water to fill the bottle 3/4 of the way. Add blue
food colouring, and seal the lid with glue. As you turn the bottle on its side,
the waves roll gently.
Desert Bottle – Add small plastic desert
animals such as lizards, snakes, etc. to an empty bottle. Fill 2/3 of bottle
with sand. As children turn or shake the bottle they can see animals that live
in the desert.
