    I really enjoyed all the activities outlined in this module and I think they are all activities that would really appeal to children in my class.
    An activity that I would love to try out is the dancing raisins experiment. I would gather all the children around me so as they could assist with the experiment. First we would place the raisins in a cup and add some still water. I would then question them on what is happening, if anything, and why they think this might be. After that we would place the raisins in another cup and this time we would add some fizzy water and observe what happens. We would then discuss what has happened this time and what the difference was between the still water and the fizzy water. I would then enable the children to conduct this experiment in small groups themselves. I think this is a very practical activity that is suitable for many age groups.
