Sand and Water
Students follow this recipe for fun clay creations. In this early childhood art and science lesson, students develop creative-thinking skills, fine-motor skills, and sensory awareness while they make, mold, and decorate salt dough.
Curated OER
Snow Crystal Picture
Students color a snow scene and use salt to make snow crystals. In this art activity students add Epson Salt to water and paint the snow background. After drying the salt with sparkle like real snow.
Curated OER
Salt Water Wedge
Students conduct an experiment to observe the properties of both salt and freshwater. They explain why freshwater will stay at the surface while salt water will travel up a river bottom because of density. Students also research the...
Curated OER
Bug Night Light
Students create a bug night light. In this craft activity, students use salt shakers to make a night light. Students catch lightning bugs and put them in the salt shakers.
