March Theme

Ok, the Rain Gage. Take a plastic cylinder, a cd case, a ruler and a permanent marker. Hot glue the plastic cylinder to the cd case. Take the ruler and mark each inch on the outside of the plastic. Have them set the rain gage out in the yard and report on how much water goes in it in a week. The Tornado, take 2, 2 liter bottles and fill one almost to the top with water. Put the other bottle on the top at the opening and take black electrical tape and tape the bottles together. Then have the Cubs turn the bottle over and swirl in a circle to get the water to go around the bottle... Have fun.. Both of the activities are an outside activities...

March 2

Week 3 brings us talking about the wind. We built a weather vain. Take a block of wood, a feather, a straw and a sewing pin. Take the block of wood and put a nail in it, put the straw over the nail, pin the feather on the straw and watch the feather blow. The kids love this. Next week we will talk about a rain gage, and a tornado.
