Discuss possibilities for implementing activities using these resources with your peer

A List of resources that target specific scientific skills and concepts in the school

Resources for Science teaching classroom:	Scientific Skill(s) / Concept(s) that can be developed with it.	Exploring on possible activities to develop mathematical skills and concepts using these materials
Magnets	- Help them to know that the magnet attracts only pieces of iron or other magnetic pieces. - The knowledge that magnet could be attraction or repulsion from each other, depending on the way alignment of the poles.	- Put a range of materials such as wood, iron, aluminum, plastic and let them test whether magnets can attract one of them, and therefore they will learn that the magnet attracts iron only. -Let them test to put magnet along each other and so they will learn that if the poles are alike will repel each other and if two different poles will attract each other.
Magnifying glasses	- Knowing that magnifying glass makes small things appear bigger than they are the reality. - When we put a magnifying glass in front of our eyes, our eyes look bigger.	-Put different sizes of objects in front of each student and make him/her test the magnifying glass whether the size of each object change, students will learn that the magnifying glass make the small stuff big.
Der rasselmatz	- Issued several different voices (oil  or juice or water - the sound of sand or salt - bell or a small ball, etc.). - Helps students to develop their hearing skill and quick thinking. - Knowledge the some similar sounds of things.	- Give each group consisting of five students Der rasselmatzand and ask what the sound that they hear, some of them will say, oil, water or juice which is things made mostly the same sound , and in another group will say  dust, salt or sugar, as well its things that are made the same sound, and thus the students will learn that some sounds are similar.
Balance	- How to balance things. - Heavy and light weight (water tray, juice, an empty tray, cubes, feathers, etc.).	- Give them different things and make them guess that thing light or heavy and make them try in the balance, to let them know if their guessing correct or wrong.
