Grant Process: 5 Minute Science

I'm in the middle of developing a grant program for a local elementary school and thought I would share some of the ideas.  The grant will include 5 minute science experiments, watershed education, and a courtyard makeover.  The librarian is spear-heading the program and wants to start this month.  We're starting with Exploratorium's rotocopters, CD spinners (Here are templates.), rocket balls--with tennis and ping pong balls,  and UV beads.  Why these?  The issue is cost.  I have the UV beads on hand to donate.  The librarian had CDs.  We selected activities that are inexpensive and easy to scale up for hundreds of children.
