brother, sister, etc) to keep up with time on a watch or
cellphone.

hands stay behind head and make sure elbows touch
your knees on the way up.

TEST #2 Push-ups for one
minute

a break but the clock doesn’t stop. You only get one
minute

See if you can run in place
for three minutes. If you stop before two minutes is up that will be your score. So if you

Color Mixing on Coffee Filters
MATERIALS:
All you need are white coffee filters, watercolor markers,
and a spray bottle of water.
DIRECTIONS:
Fold a plain white coffee filter into fourths. Fill the coffee
filters with dots, dashes, any kinds of marks
using markers. Make marks slowly, so the ink really had
time to sink into the four layers of the filter. It is totally
acceptable to leave plenty of white space between
marks. The next step will fill it all in! Encourage your kids
to experiment with the primary colors but did not restrict
them to only using those.
THE MAGIC
Lay colored and folded coffee filters on scrap paper or paper
towels. Allow kids to spray their coffee filters with water. Really spray
them as the water needs to soak through all the layers so the color soaks
through all the layers.
White space is quickly filled in, colors swim together and new colors and
shapes are made! This part was FUN for the kids to witness!
PATIENCE….
You have these wet little wads of awesome color. Now what? Let them
dry, at least for a little bit. It is so tempting to unfold them right
away. But when they are wet the coffee filters are super fragile and all that color that’s swimming
around needs to settle down before you unfold them.
It takes a couple hours for them to dry, OVERNIGHT IS EVEN BETTER!

WHAT NEXT…
These radial designs coffee filters are an exercise in color
mixing, but they are also an easy cheat to a tie-dyed
look. Display them as is or go another step and incorporate
them into a collage, a weaving, or make a colorful snowflake!

FAMILYPercussion
DESCRIPTION
With a name that means, "the hitting of one bodyagainst another," instruments in the percussion familyare played by being struck, shaken, or scraped. In theorchestra, the percussion section provides a variety ofrhythms, textures and tone colors. Percussioninstruments are classified as tuned or untuned. Tuned instruments play specific pitches or notes, just like the woodwind, brass and string instruments. Untuned instruments produce a sound with an indefinite pitch, like the sound of a hand knocking on a door. The percussion instruments are an international family, with ancestors from the Middle East, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe representing musical styles from many different cultures. Instruments inthe percussion family include Drum s , Chimes, Cymbals, Tambourine, Timpani, and Xylophone.
FAMILYStringsDESCRIPTION
The four major instruments in the string family, the
violin, the viola, the cello and the double bass, arebuilt the same way. The instruments are made of manypieces of wood which are glued - never nailed -together. The body of the instrument is hollow, thusbecoming a resonating box for the sound. Four strings (sometimes five on the double bass) made of animal gut, nylon, or steel are wrapped around pegs at one end of the instrument and attached to a tailpiece at the other. They are stretched tightly across a bridge to produce their assigned pitches.
