As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

SPRING SCIENCE

At HO4K, students are encouraged to explore their environment through active play and hands on experiences. Science projects are created as different curiosities arise. Below are a few of the different activities students have recently participated in.  
Exploring in science is SO much fun! One recent activity that students have been working on is with rockets that we made in class. One of the State Standards is for students to explore and demonstrate how objects move. Students observed the direction of the rockets, learned about gravity and talked about their discoveries.  5 4 3 2 1.......Blast off!
To enhance observational skills, students created a telescope to explore their surroundings. Students practiced taking turns with this new science tool and compared their environmental surroundings.  
We used our small motor skills grating ivory soap. Later Ms JoAnn blends it with other ingredients and makes her own laundry detergent (which works great and only costs 50 cents a gallon)! Its easy and only takes about 30 minutes, ask her for the recipe!
