In this week's halloween themed session, we will be learning about physical changes and chemical reactions, along with physical and chemical properties. This craft is an interactive game, where the kids can throw balls into the witch's potion! The recommended age group for this activity is 4 to 10 years old, however, all ages are welcome!
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- 1 paper plate
- 2 or 3 pieces of paper - Scissors - Tape - Optional: Coloring materials, Glue. How to
The Witch:
Step 1: Draw a witch, along with her hat, and make sure to add a curve at the bottom with space to attach your paper plate. You can print out our free template, which can be found below, or use it as a reference to draw your own! Step 2: Take your paper plate, and make a hole in it using scissors. This hole can be as big or as small as you like, although, be sure to make sure your balls will fit when thrown through! Step 3: Attach your paper plate, or potion, to your witch using tape. Optional: If you would like, you can draw and cut two hands, and tape or glue them to the potion. For this par, you can print out our free template, which can be found below, or use it as a reference to draw your own! Step 4: Hang your witch by its hat to a doorway (or the edge of a table) to play your game! Balls: Step 1: Cut 4 to 6 strips of paper that are about 0.5 inches by 11 inches in size. Step 2: Place two strips in the shape of an X, and keep adding strips in the same way, to make a snowflake shape, gluing them together as you go. The centers of your strips should always be in the middle of your shape. Step 3: Make sure that you have glued all of the strips in the middle, so your shape is attached firmly in the middle. Step 4: Bring up all of the ends of the strips, and tape or glue the tips together, the same way you did the bottom, by connecting opposite sides together. Connect and secure the ends so that they make a sphere-like shape. Step 5: Repeat these steps to make as many balls as you would like, then throw them into the potion and play your new game! The Lesson
During this session, we will be learning about physical changes and chemical reactions. We will be connecting these reactions to the witch’s potion, in which balls will be thrown into as part of the game! This creative connection and repeated enforcement while playing the game multiple times will be instrumental in insuring that all information is retained and fully understood. You can find our science lesson, craft explanations, and templates in the presentation below.
