For St. Patrick's Day we read, "How to Trap a Leprechaun" by Sue Fliess.
After, the students had a lot of fun building leprechaun traps in small groups.
Before working on our Leprechaun Traps, we also set up a science experiment, so we could watch it's progress through-out library class.
You start with 7 plastic cups. Cup 1 and 7 are filled with red water, cup 3 is filled with yellow water, and cup 5 is filled with blue water. Cups 2, 4, and 6 were left empty. |
Add a folded paper towel in between each cup... |
...and watch the magic! |
