Activity 1: Science (Oil and Water Experiment)
Materials: Baby oil or vegetable oil, washable liquid watercolors or food coloring, cups (preferably clear cups or glasses) and droppers (you can use a medicine dropper)
Vocabulary: Oil, water, mix, stir, soluble, droplets
Beginning: Show the materials to the children and ask them what they will be doing with them. Let them dip their finger in water and then oil to notice the difference in the two liquids.
Middle: Let the child pour water in two cups and add two different food colors or liquid watercolors to the water. Then let him/her stir to combine. In a third cup pour oil until the cup is half full. Now with the dropper let the child drip a little bit of colored water from the two cups of colored water into the cup of oil. Let them explore what happens when the drops of colored water drip into the oil. Bring attention to the fact that oil and water droplets are not mixing. Ask them the reason why and acknowledge their answers.
End: Give the child a two to three minutes warning and then ask them to help you clean up by discarding the colored water and the oil and by wiping away any spills.
Duration: 15 minutes
Extension: You can make a lava lamp based on the same concept. Here is a link for the experiment:
Activity 2: Math (Patterns) - Fruit kabobs
Materials: Any two kinds of fruits cut up into small pieces on a plate (watermelon/melon/pineapple/banana/apple/orange etc.), wooden bbq skewers/sticks/chopsticks
Vocabulary: Pattern, alternate, next, before, after
Beginning: Show the sticks/skewers and the fruits to the child and ask him/her what can they do with the materials?
Middle: Sit next to the child and start putting the fruit pieces on your stick by following a certain pattern (For example, orange, orange, apple, orange, orange, apple, orange, orange, apple, and so on). You can ask the child what kind of pattern he/she is going to make. Encourage them to follow a specific pattern by saying out the name of the fruit they put on the skewer (For example, “I can see you put on a strawberry then watermelon then again strawberry. I wonder what will come next?)
End: Give the child a two to three minutes warning before the end of the activity and then ask him/her to help you clean up. The child may eat his/her fruit kebob at the end of the activity.
Duration: 15 minutes
Extension: You can give the child three fruits instead of two to make a more complex pattern (for example, apple, orange, strawberry, apple, orange, strawberry, apple, orange, strawberry and so on)
