Boredom Busters

  Boredom Busters
Learn how science can be used to give people around the world access to clean water ! Build a water filter tower, test water quality with pH and carbon dioxide analysis, and experiment with water purification by evaporation. I think it would be interesting to conduct dual experiments one with tap waterf rom my house and one with bottles water..... hmmmmm.....

One of our time favorites!
Buck, Buck, Moose! The dealer turns over one card at a time to reveal either a Buck (the ranger)  or a moose card. If a Moose card appears you try to be the first one to place your hand on that color moose card! Be careful, you could lose a moose or even win an extra moose card. The player with the most Moose cards at the end of the game wins!
SQUIGGLE ON THE GO
This little gem has received rave reviews from parents and players alike! In this version you spin the spinner to start then you draw the animal selected beginning with the squiggle on the page! Doodle art at its finest perhaps? Just think of the creativity that could be unleashed on a long car trip, on a plane trip, on a bus, on a scooter, or even on a skateboard! WOW! A great activity while waiting for a meal in a restaurant or after a meal when all the grown ups are talking and having coffee and no electronics are allowed!
I'm thinkin some of DaVinci's greatest inventions started this way! It just takes a little spark!
