We offered the children a "Make your own ocean" station:

Each station included:

1 empty ball jar

1 small container of salt

1 small baby food jar halfway full of oil

2 droppers

2 plastic spoons

1 paint cup with a 2ish tablespoons of liquid water color

Some children asked, "What are we supposed to do?" My response was, "What would you like to do with it?" I love how each child approached their station differently.
