Have them verbalise the discoveries they make. Encourage their observation and descriptive skills by having each child tell of all their discoveries in all of the five senses. Have children paint and draw their discoveries and write captions to go with the discovery drawings. Have children play discovered sounds to the class and challenge others to make a 'new' sound from the instrument. Make into a large sound mural.
Further Directions Ask the children for ideas for further 'baskets of discovery'.
These could contain shells, magnets mirrors, nails screws, bones stones, bottles Challenge the children to find uses for these articles.
