There’s a TON of science and sensory learning packed into these terrific tubes! Using a few simple materials, you can create your own super fun in a tube! These tubes are great for use in the classroom, long car rides and for exploring nature.
To make a Sight Word Tube, begin by filling the Super Science Test Tubes to the halfway point with rice or beans. Add in the Bright Alphabet Cube Beads to spell out sight words (one word to a tube), and fill the remaining space with rice or beans, and place the cap on. Students will have fun moving the tubes around to discovered the scrambled sight word hidden inside!
Next up are these fun ocean themed tubes! Grab some rice or black beans and fill the tube about half way up, add in some beads from this 1lb. Assorted Plastic Beads, mix and top them off with some more beans or rice! Add in some Bright Alphabet Cube Beads to spell out ocean words! Try “Fun”, “Beach”, “Sand” and “Water”!
Using clear hand soap, water, and Bright Glitter, these tubes come alive with motion every time you move them! To create slower moving glitter, fill the tube halfway with clear hand soap, add glitter, and then top it off with more hand soap. Shake well to disperse the glitter. For a fun, quick moving tube of glitter, use water in place of the hand soap. Shake well to break up any glitter clumps.
The properties of density can be seen in this science tube when you fill the tubes with 50/50 mix of water and vegetable oil! Add one drop of food coloring for added fun!
The Super Science Test Tubes are also great for use outside! When paired with the Magnifying Glasses, students can examine soil samples up close, test water samples and catch and observe small insects and bugs!
