Other Fun Things
Air Pollution Detectors Use markers to write each child's name on a separate index card. Have each child spread some petroleum jelly on the other side of the card, and hang the cards around the house and in the yard. To see what is floating around in our air, let the kids use magnifying glasses to observe what dust, debris, particles, bugs, etc. have collected on the cards during a one-week period.
Volcano Snack Materials Needed: Clear Cups Milk Cola Whipping Cream
Directions: Have child pour l/3 cup of milk in glass. Add whipping cream (the canned kind works best). Pour cola until the cream floats to the top. Add a straw and enjoy.
Keep It Clean (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”) Let's keep the earth clean, let's keep the earth clean, Let's all work together to keep the earth clean. Let's keep the water clean, let's keep the water clean, Let's all work together to keep the water clean. Let's keep the air clean, let’s keep the air clean, Let's all work together to keep the air clean.
Planet Earth (Tune: “Bingo”) There is a planet we call home And Earth is its name-O! E-A-R-T-H E-A-R-T-H E-A-R-T-H And Earth is its name-O!
I Saw a Piece of Trash (Tune: “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”) Oh, I saw a piece of trash, so I went to pick it up. I saw a piece of trash, so I went to pick it up. I saw a piece of trash, so I went to pick it up. But it blew away up in the air. I keep my earth clean, so I ran and ran and ran. I keep my earth clean, so I ran and ran and ran. I keep my earth clean, so I ran and ran and ran. I threw that trash in the garbage can.
