Buoyancy

We had a great time exploring sink and float. We predicted if items were buoyant or not and tested to see if our predictions were correct.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Frost in a Can 🥶

In our discussions on winter weather, we decided to attempt to create frost. We predicted if we thought we could, and most of us said yes. We had so much fun creating and exploring condensation. 

Magnet Explorations

 
My busy bees had so much fun exploring the properties of magnets. Investigating with magnets provides loads of scientific fun for all ages, and it improves coordination and fine motor skills, too.

Force and Motion - Pushes and Pulls

We had a great week investigating forces and motion by differentiating between pushes and pulls. We planned and conducted investigations on the playground using swings and in the classroom using our ramp set and toy cars.

Happy Halloween!

What a wonderful day creating 3D structures, making an edible Spookly and pumpkin carving! Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!

Paleontologist

 We were Paleontologist today. Digging through dinosaur eggs and discovering the different species inside. A bit messy, but oh so fun!

Happy Birthday George Washington!

 

 We had so much fun learning about our first President, George Washington. We celebrated with Cherry Turnovers discussing the famous legend/myth of young George cutting down the cherry tree with his hatchet and telling his Pa that he could not tell a lie. We reviewed that George Washington is on the quarter and one-dollar bill. What an awesome group of K friends I have the privilege of teaching.
