Scientist of the Week

Matt was our Scientist of the Week last week. He did a fun experiment called Water Surprises.

Here he is all ready to go...

Matt had one jar with water and one jar without. He showed us an arrow on a paper. Through the empty jar, it looked the same. But when we looked at it through the jar with water, from the right distance, the arrow turned the other way. Magic!

Even the straw looked different when it was in the jar with water.

Thank you, Matt for this fun experiment!! 

What surprises can you find at home when looking through water in a jar or glass of water?

Scientist of the Week #5

On Friday, Brientz was our Scientist of the Week. She did a really fun experiment called, "Bubbles, Bubbles". This was an exciting and easy experiment you could do at home.

All set up and ready to go...

Pouring the club soda into the cup...

Putting the raisins in and watching them dance...

 The kids thought this was so funny!

Then Brientz did another experiment with spaghetti. She put in blue food coloring so we could better see the spaghetti dive up and down.

Thanks for sharing this awesome experiment with us, Brientz!

Game Day

We had such a fun game day on Friday. Thanks goes to everyone who brought a game. Besides just having fun on the first Friday back after a long vacation, we also learned a few things while playing. We discussed sharing, playing fair, being a good sport, showing respect, being kind and other important skills that we could practice while playing games with our friends and classmates. What a great time!
