Place a variety of objects in your water table or in individual tubs of water. Examples include small rocks, shells, plastic animals, bottle caps or large buttons. Make sure some items will float and others will sink. Tell the children they must retrieve the items from the water but they can't use their hands. Give them a variety of tools such as tongs, wooden spoons, magnet wands or pieces of sturdy cardboard. Have them explain their choice of tool and how it worked or didn't work. This can be done in small group.
