In this session, we will be exploring the concept of the ocean's waves, through the creation of a spyglass, and by playing a kahoot! We will be discussing the different types of waves and how they are formed. When you look through this spyglass, you will see a beautiful boat scene with waves! Our recommended age group for this project is 4-10 years old, however, all ages are welcome!
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- 1 paper cup or plastic cup
- 1 cardboard paper roll - glue/tape - permanent markers (washable markers can be used if needed) - Optional: decorative materials HOW TO
Step 1 : Trace around your paper tube on the bottom side of your cup.
Step 2 : Cut out circle, and make sure your toilet paper tube fits snuggly into the cup. Step 3 : Trace a circle that is the same size the toilet paper roll cycle on a piece of plastic film, from a ziplock bag, sheet protector, plastic wrap, etc. Step 4 : Using permanent markers, draw a boat scene with ocean waves onto the plastic wrap. Step 5 : Cut this circle out, and tape it to the toilet paper roll. Optional step: decorate the roll anyway that you would like! Step 6 : Insert the tube through the cup, and look through your spyglass! THE LESSON
In this session, we will be discussing ocean waves. We will cover the three types of waves: wind-driven waves, tidal waves, tsunamis, and how they are formed, as well as their characteristics. We will also have some friendly competition and play a Kahoot! This connection and hands-on learning will push children to use their creativity, and develop their critical thinking skills. This will help them retain the knowledge learned and apply it in real-world situations. You can find the science lesson and a picture of the craft below!
