Social Studies: Calming bottle

Calm Down Bottle Preparation

In order to be prepared, you will need to have ready:

• An empty, clean, small plastic bottle or jar with a cap. Remove label.

• Small objects to put inside the bottle. A variety is best so that some objects will float, some will hover, and some will sink. You don’t need to have all of these objects. Some ideas:

  1. 1. Paper clips

     2. Sequins

     3. Buttons

     4. Glitter

     5. Tiny pebbles

     6. Fish tank gravel

     7. Beads

     8. Little balls of aluminum foil

     9. Small shells

     10. Cut up pieces of plastic straws

     11. Anything else you can think of

• Optional: food dye or watercolor paint if you want your water to have color
