LEARNING TO SHAKE A BOTTLE

A bottle of any liquid substance almost invariably needs shaking before using.

MATERIAL

A bottle of something used in the environment, is taken to the child's table.

EXERCISE

The teacher shows the child how to grasp the container with his dominant hand, putting the forefinger on top of the screw top lid. This is done because, in shaking a bottle, a cork or top is apt to fly off and the contents splash out. The child is then shown how to shake fairly vigorously to get the contents well mixed. This can be practiced with a corked container or container with any type of top which is used for household cleaners.
