Getting messy with our learning

We have been exploring our five senses in science. Students had to close their eyes and use their sense of hearing, smell and touch to figure out what I was squirting on the tables. We discussed the different properties of the shaving cream and played around in it to really understand the sense of touch/feel. We may have gotten real messy but had a blast. I was impressed with the observations they recorded in their science journals after. Please send in another change of clothes for activities like this. I have another messy activity that involves cinnamon and apple sauce next so extra clothes will be needed, I'm sure!
