  Extensions: This activity can connect Science to LA using a writing prompt. Adaptations: Gifted students can write a short essay on how an animal can use a tool to solve a problem. Teacher would allow time for research (tool-using animals at PBS.org). ESL & Special Ed students can draw a picture of an animal using a tool to solve a problem. Teacher would pair up students for the research phase.

Crow Creativity: 5th Grade / Can you solve a problem as creatively as a crow? Download PDF 1. Build a tricky tube puzzle to find out if your friends can solve a problem like a crow. A clear plastic tube is best, but a paper towel roll, cut down to about 8 inches, will work too. 2. Make a basket out of tin foil. The basket should be big enough to hold a small cookie. 3. Tear some strips off a roll of duct tape. Lay the roll of tape flat on a table and fit the tube inside the center of the duct tape roll. Then use the duct tape strips to tape the tube in place so that the tube stays upright. Tape along the side. Do not cover the openings of the tube in tape. 4. Put a cookie in your basket and drop the basket into the tube so it goes to the bottom of the tube with the handle facing up. 5. Place about 5 twist ties or a piece of long metal wire next to your tube. 6. Find a friend to solve this problem. Tell your friend that there is a cookie at the bottom of the tube. Your friend can have the cookie but has to get the cookie out of the tube first without lifting up the tube. If you are using a paper towel roll, let your friend look inside the tube to see how it's set up. Supplies: See Downloadable PDF

  Increase the critical thinking skills needed for this activity and connect it to ELA standards by requiring students to write why a hovercraft would or would not be an effective form of mass transportation based on their design experiences.

  This experiment can lead nicely into a social studies unit about the importance of water to human communities. It could also be used as a starting point for a discussion of how scarcity affects price.

  I like this activity because it works well for a wide variety of students. For students who are easily overwhelmed reduce the number of scents to match. High level students could be asked to come up with an idea for another experiment like this one but for a different sense. Consider allergies when you plan this activity!

This is a fun activity that teaches young scientists to use an under utilized sense, smell.
