Flying Saucer
Materials:- Two CDs for Each Child (AOL Free CDs work great)
- Glue
- Cup Lid or Milk Cap
- Construction Paper
- Paint
- Various Other Art Supplies
- Glue the Two CDs together
(so that only the shiny parts can be seen). Then paste the lid on so that it looks
like the cabin of the flying saucer. Then let your children finish the design
of the flying saucer anyway that they can.
You can also use cardboard pieces or cardboard pizza bottoms to make the flying saucers.
Rocket Launch
Place an Alka-Seltzer Tablet and a little water in a 35mm film cartridge and close
the lid tightly. Place this on the floor and stand back. The top will very soon
launch (the pressure from the gas causes the lid to pop off and fly about chest
high)
Planets Around The Sun
(Sung to: "The Ants Go Marching")The planets revolve around the sun, hurrah; hurrah
The planets revolve around the sun, hurrah; hurrah
The planets revolve around the sun and spin on their axis every one.
And they all go spinning, around and around . . .They go.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, hurrah; hurrah
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, hurrah; hurrah
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are whirling and twirling around the sun
And they all go spinning, around and around . . .. They go.
Jupiter, Saturn are next in line, hurrah, hurrah
Jupiter, Saturn are next in line, hurrah, hurrah
Jupiter, Saturn are next in line. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto make all nine
And they all go spinning, around and around . . .. They go.
Stars in a Jar
Put syrup, glitter, blue water, and star confetti in a baby food jar or Zip
Loc Bag and glue the top shut. Your children will love this suspended space
station.
