Friday, March 27 I'm a Scientist and I Didn't Even Know It!! Mystery Box Observations with Jeff Killebrew, New Mexico School for the Blind
• K-12
• Materials Needed: One box, or several boxes - any size will do but the box does need to have the ability to be sealed to prevent accessing the interior of the box. In addition, any common household item(s) that can fit into the box: balls, marbles, paperclips, fork, pencil, pen, whatever is laying around will do, along with any materials needed to construct internal compartments in the box (cardboard, construction paper, tape, glue, etc.) The more creative the better!
