A sensory table provides students with an opportunity to explore a variety of science materials in an open-ended manner. When the table is filled with water, students can explore the properties of liquid by measuring different amounts, exploring temperature, and pouring water using different supplies. With sand, students can explore measuring, but they can also build and create shapes and structures. Students can excavate items that are buried in the sand, such as little dinosaurs, bones, or even letters of the alphabet during a reading center.
