The children have their eyes closed and the teacher shakes the container with various food
e.g. breakfast cereal.
Shake the container and have the learners
predict what the item is before it is revealed.
Reveal the contents and see how many were
correct.
Now have the learners break into groups and
repeat the investigation themselves with
different materials.
