So, just how hot is it? We conducted a science experiment to find out how long it takes to melt an ice cube. Students made predictions about the melting time inside and the melting time outside. We observed, discussed and charted our results. We compared our predictions to actual melting time and learned more about the concept of time. Look closely at our predictions and you will see that we had a big difference to talk about!
The next two pictures focus on the curiosity and exploration of children and the natural questions they have regaurding the world around them. Above a student experiments with sound. While bending the tube in different ways the sound changes. Children took turns listening to themselves and then sending messages to one another through the "message tubes".
Water is always a fun way to further encourage exploration and discovery. So when students learned about the pressure in a hose, of course we had to "play" and try it out ourselves. We learned how to create the pressure and then took turns experimenting to see how far we could get the hose to spray out while building up the pressure. Students loved this activity and had fun making designs, spraying great distances, and splashing in the water!
