An Easy Fall Science Center

Fall is the perfect time of year to explore science – there are so many changes happening! It’s also really easy to find natural materials to use in the classroom (check out this list and this list for ideas), but sometimes I struggle with how to contain all of those natural materials.  No more worries, I’ve found the perfect solution:

How awesome are these leaf-shaped containers from Oriental Trading (of course) ?!

I filled mine with tree bark, grass, pebbles, twigs, some small red leaves, and one larger green leaf. The best thing about this set is that it includes 24 containers, so your students could help you find all kinds of treasures to keep in them!
