🥼 Activity: "Mystery Box Challenge"

Objective:

To ignite curiosity and teamwork while introducing lab safety and equipment.

Materials Needed:

• A "Mystery Box" (a cardboard box with a variety of lab equipment and common science items inside)
• Gloves
• Safety goggles
• Notebooks and pencils

Instructions:

1. Group Formation:

   • Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.

2. Mystery Box Exploration:

   • Give each group a set of gloves and safety goggles.
   • Present the "Mystery Box" and explain that they will take turns reaching inside without looking, feeling an object, and then describing its properties to their group.

3. Record Observations:

   • As each group pulls an item from the box, they will discuss what they think it is used for in the lab and note down their observations.

4. Safety Briefing:

   • After the activity, gather everyone to discuss the importance of safety in the lab. Highlight the significance of wearing goggles and gloves when handling certain materials.

❓ Discussion: What Did We Discover?

Once all groups have shared their findings, let’s come together as a class to discuss:

• What were some of the most surprising items?
• Why is each item important for conducting experiments safely and effectively?
• How do we apply these items in current and future science experiments?
