mystery box activity

Today's class was a lot of fun, I really enjoy getting to do group work. This class always seems to go by fast because we do more than just lectures. The mystery box activity is something I really think young kids would enjoy, it reminded me of when I was younger and we had to smell into a bag and predict what the smell was. It really get kids minds flowing, as well as ours, when we can't see something. It almost gives a sense of being blind, having to just feel and listen to try to find out what something is. During the experiment I thought is seemed like they were all marbles, and they were, but I also noticed them not sounding the same when hitting all sides but I didn't know what it was. After we got to discuss it and look inside it was fun to see if our predictions were true. Another thing I liked was the fact that we got to draw our ideas on poster boards, children like getting to doodle and such, instead of just writing their observations on paper as usual, so that was a great idea I will take with me.
