More Thanksgiving

Here are some more of our Thanksgiving activities. We also did a science experiment to find out what happens to air molecules when placed in hot and cold water. My neighbor gave me a book called Science in Seconds for Kids and we love it. There are a lot of quick, easy, and fun experiments in the book.

One pan contained ice water and the other contained hot water.

When placed in hot water, air molecules move faster and take up more space, filling the balloon with air.

When placed in the cold water, the air molecules move slower and crowd together, so the balloon collapsed.

Josh's turn.



Placing pictures of the Mayflower in order from biggest to smallest.

Poking holes in the letter T with a giant push pin.

I found these at Walmart in the office section.

For their tot tray, I printed off a skittle sort activity. I gave them both tweezers to use. This proved to be too difficult for Josh and he started using his hands. Callie also tired after a bit and went to using her hands. I ended up having to help both because it was too much for them.



Of course they got to eat them when they were all done!
