Here is a little project done with Etoys simulating a "shake box" (Schüttelbox in German). http://tinyurl.com/schuettelbox In primary school the kids get a box with two rooms and a small opening between the rooms. Then you get 10 mumbles, put them into the box and shake it. You can then open one room, count the mumbles and reason, how many mumbles are in the other room. Ok, while I'm writing this I realise, that it is too easy for fourth graders. But I will send you the link anyway, maybe you will be inspired by it and have ideas, what you can do with Etoys. Greetings, Rita P.S. I assume you have to change the language setting to english by clicking on the flag on the top of the screen.
