CURIOSITY DRIVEN SCIENCE

(in this case, the “box” is a refrigerator!)

How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

Open the refrigerator, put the giraffe in, and close the door.

This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

The correct answer is:

How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

The correct answer is:

This question tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put the elephant in, and close the door.

The lion king is hosting a masquerade party. All the animals

but one attend.

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

Which animal does not attend?

The right answer is:

The elephant is still in the

refrigerator.

This question tests your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly,

you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

There is a river you must cross, but the sign says “beware of crocodiles.”

What do you do?

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

The right answer is:

You swim across safely.

All the crocodiles are still at the party.

This question tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, about 90% of the professionals they tested got

all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers.

Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals

have the brains of a four year old.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

Today we will be “thinking outside the box” in order to understand and explain how things work around us that we

cannot physically see!

Lets talk about puppies!

Balloon in a bottle

• What can we do to change the situation so that we can blow up the balloon inside the bottle?

Hot!

Cold!What do we do when its very hot?What do we do when it gets very cold?

What do you think “air puppies” do when it gets too hot or too cold?

How can we describe the “air puppies” in each situation?

For your home fun you will need a cup of water and a pipette.

Can you get water inside the pipette?

Take all that you learned today and see if you can explain how it is that a pipette is able to hold water?

Remember to “think outside the box” and use pictures to help you explain.

Ask your parents if they can help!

Home Fun!
