You Predict I Try

Description

At a Science Centre interactive exhibit, make different predictions, try the permitted control, then change one setting and test again.

What to prep

  • An open visitor-operated exhibit with a clearly permitted adjustable control
Cost: FreeBest time: Morning, Afternoon

Play guide

  1. 1Choose an open visitor-operated exhibit with a simple control and read its instructions together.
  2. 2The child predicts one result, such as “this allowed setting will make it faster,” then tries the control or directs the adult to try it.
  3. 3Change one permitted setting and test again. Compare what actually changed; no score is needed.

Success signals

The child links one permitted change in a real exhibit to an observed result.

If it's tricky

No adjustable exhibit is open: use one push-and-response exhibit and compare prediction with its single result.
