Create a Glitter Globe to teach Newton’s first law or density in your classroom! Looking for a great demonstration? Want a short activity your students can create within twenty minutes or less? The Glitter Globe activity uses inexpensive everyday materials and has clear instructions.
In the Classroom
This activity could be an introduction or reinforcement of Newton’s first law or as part of density discussions. Students will greatly enjoy playing with this science toy, but don’t forget to include the follow up discussion questions. This activity could also be used in art class! There is nothing better than learning through playing with most students. Take photos of the Glitter Globes and have students use ThingLink, <a href="/single.cfm?id=13216">reviewed here</a>, to narrate and explain how they created their Glitter Globe.
At Home
This would be a good summertime craft project, but don’t forget to ask your student WHY it works.
