STEM Activity -Create Your Own Mystery Bottle
This is a stand alone activity, but can be used to integrate science and social studies into the curriculum. Students LOVE exploring and then creating their own mystery bottle. They call it their own "lava lamp!" Teachers should prep a mystery bottle for each group of students to explore before creating their own bottle. This is a NO FAIL activity that will have the students talking about it for days!
