Grow a Duck Weighing Activity

May 24, 2016 By Thaleia 1 Comment

We already love our local libraries but even more so during Summer Reading Club time. A couple of years ago the kids were picking out their weekly prize and one of them chose a grow a duck! Add in a small digital scale and viola you have a great Science experiment for preschool and elementary age students.

Grow a Duck Weighing Activity

First you will need to find a clear container that will house the grow a duck. Next you will need to place it in the container covered with water. Then you will need to weigh your duck each day for a week.

On the first day we weighed our grow a duck it weighed

We have a few other “Grow a” things like a horse,insect,  heart, dino, and guy. Each one always delights the child who “owns” the item to check each day to see how big the item has gotten. We bought the scale on Amazon and also found some of the Grow a items on there as well.

Tools that I used for this activity:

small scale

Grow a duck, insect, dino or frog
