Snapple Caps

Two weeks ago I ran my son's Cub Scout Den meeting, helping them to earn their scientist badge. I brought a box of stuff with me to do demonstrations, and as I was setting up, I noticed a Snapple cap among the material. It had a question on it: Where was the first sailing ship made? So I asked the scouts the question. One boy raised his hand right away, and gave the correct answer: Egypt. I was impressed. Then he told me it was Snapple cap #177.

The moral is, we should have kids read Snapple caps at school, then they would remember things. Having them read books just is not as effective!
