You will need a timer, sponges, water and buckets for this activity. Divide the class into teams and have them line up. Place an empty bucket across from each line and place a bucket filled with water next to each line. The first person in the line will be given a dry sponge. Each team will wet their sponge, then run to their empty bucket to squeeze the water into that bucket. Each person in the team will take turns squeezing their sponge in their bucket. Once the timer sounds, the team that has filled the bucket the most wins. Talk about volume, more and less, heavier and lighter.
