What are Interactive Clock Games?

Teach children about the concept of clocks and telling-time with interactive clock games done both in and out of the classroom . With these activities students will learn with computers, and interactive games. This article will provide you with examples of online games and games that help kids get out the "wiggles."

Consider purchasing a set of Judy Clocks for your classroom so that each student can move the hands around on the clocks and learn for themselves how clocks work.

Teach students about Expansion and Contraction by conducting a few simple projects. Helium-filled balloons easily demonstrate how molecules expand and contract when exposed to varying temperatures.

Follow THIS link to eHow.com, for three science projects on expansion and contraction from our egghead. Check out THIS link for resources for balloons.

Science Activities on Density

Most people have heard of the "Dancing Raisins", but have you ever seen raisins float?

Illustrate density, the measurement of mass, by conducing a few simple projects with items found around the home.

"Density of Liquids" will compare water, oil, and maple syrup, and discuss why the liquids don't mix. Most people have heard of the "Dancing Rains"- but did you know you could make raisins float? "Floating Raisins" will show you why water wings help children stay afloat in pools, and "Comparing Size & Density" will use soap to prove an important density concept- weight doesn't necessarily indicate that something is more dense. Follow the link below for three activities that teach about density.
