Cooking activities, even simple ones like this, are filled with great learning opportunities. Along with measurement and math skills, kids can develop problem solving and literacy skills as well. Also, by showing kids that they can make tasty drinks that are much more healthful than store-bought soda, you will provide an opportunity to talk about making healthy choices in their diets.
VIEW ACTIVITYHaving kids conduct test marketing for their sodas is a great way to work on oral and written literacy skills, data collection and analysis, tabulation and distinguishing characteristics of an object.

Design engineering is a great way to teach kids problem solving, teamwork, materials and tool use, and the design process in general. In this activity, your students will also investigate angles, trial and error, and will use their math skills as they keep score of their golf round.
VIEW ACTIVITY
Cultural understanding is easier for children when it is grounded in commonalities. By learning and playing games that children in different cultures also play, kids can come to discover that people from different parts of the world are not as different as they might think.

Children get too few chances to experiment with materials and to design and build objects of their own creation. These Raceways and Roller Coasters activities allow your students these opportunities, and engage them on many different levels as well. Building these tracks and rolling marbles down them help children to develop problem-solving and teamwork skills and touch upon some basic principles of physics like energy, acceleration and momentum.
