Do a buoyancy/volume project! have them create clay or aluminum foil boats, see how many paperclips they'll hold, etc.

The kids learn about the importance of surface area, volume, etc. Do an internet search - I'm sure specific instructions are all over the place!

(I'm not a teacher, but my FH teaches 4th grade. He did this last week!)

I once did a science lesson about why bubbles are round. I bent pipe cleaners into different shapes. So that might be an idea?

Good luck!
