Kiwi Crate #2: Underwater Fun!


We got the second Kiwi Crate in the mail yesterday! (Remember the Solar System Mobile??) This one had an underwater theme and had two projects. The first was making a fun fishing game. First we colored the creatures and shapes.


Then we made fishing poles with thin poles, stings, pipe cleaners, and velcro dots. We put velcro dots on the critters to catch as well and check out what we caught!


A unicorn!


A crab!


An eyeball!
(Among other things...)


The next activity was an experiment of the difference of freshwater and salt water. We had two cups of water and Ezra stirred a considerably amount of salt into one of them.


He then placed a variety of objects in both glasses and observed as some sank in the freshwater but floated in the salt water.


The he put a whole bunch of stuff in both glasses and found that even floating things will sink if you place enough other objects on top of them.


I think his favorite part of this experiment was pouring the water. He poured again...


Again...


And again...

Thanks for the continued fun Aunt, Uncle, and Cuz! Can't wait for the next one...
