Teach your children about volume and mass with this hands-on activity. Ask
her who she thinks has the "biggest" fist in the family. Looks can be
deceiving! She'll be learning about these important scientific concepts
and what it means to measure for volume, rather than size.
What You Need:
- Bowl large enough for fists
- Paper tape
- Erasable marker
What You Do:
- Have your children fill the bowl halfway with water and mark the water level with the marker.
- Ask her to make a fist and put it in the bowl of water. Mark the
new water level to indicate how much the water has risen. The space
between the first and second mark represents the volume of your children's
hand.
- Have all the members of the family put their fists in the bowl of
water, marking the water each time. Whoever displaces the most water has
the biggest fist!
