The meaning of transfiguration
Children's Activity
Object:
Materials:
Film canister with snap on lid -- Fuji seems to work best (one per child)
Construction paper
Scissors
Scotch tape
Markers, crayons, stickers, and/or paints
Fizzing antacid tablets like Alka-Seltzer (generic works fine)
Water
Protective eye gear
Directions:
Have the children wrap their film canisters in construction paper and decorate the canisters to suit their tastes. Make sure the paper is tightly taped to the lid end so that it doesn't fly off. Be sure to leave enough space to get the lid on and off. Have the children make cone-shaped tops (which actually goes on the end opposite the lid) to put on the canisters.
Take the children outside and have them put on their protective eyewear. Fill each canister one-quarter of the way up with water. Drop an antacid tablet in each canister. Quickly replace the lid and place the canisters upside down on a flat surface and have the children step back. The film canisters will be transformed into launching rockets!
