Students have been getting into science lately! We had a great Four Winds class last week (see earlier post for more details) and we're nearing the end of our Solids and Liquids unit. Here are some new pictures...
Students have enjoyed choosing science activities from their "Solids and Liquids Station Contract." The sink or float experiment is one of their "Have-to" jobs this week. They need to do it, but they can choose when they do it.
I finally had a chance to do the Four Winds activity we didn't have time to do during our session last week. I lit some newspaper on fire, dropped it in the bottle, and put the hard-boiled egg on top of the bottle. Ask your child what happened to the egg. We had to practice the skill of patience--a skill scientists must have--since it took me a while to get it right. :-)
The sand table has been a fun way to have a hands-on experience with a solid that doesn't seem like a solid.
More sinking and floating...
