Each group will pull away from the others and take turns coming up to the front station where the materials are set up. The groups will be competing to correctly guess what are in the boxes and what noises they hear (and the winners get candy). Each student has been assigned a role, one will be the recorder and the other will be the principle investigator.

The teacher will then pass out one mystery box for each group. The children will then be told to put their hands into the box and try to observe and guess what the item could be. To check to see if they are right, the children can look on the bottom of the mystery box. The name of the item that is in the box will be written on the bottom. The children may discuss t...
