I have two ideas for science to share with you. First, we made some of these Circle Fliers. Just a straw and two loops of paper - but don't be fooled! These guys can really fly! We went to the top of a big hill and launched them all at once.
Later in the week we filled a wooden box with corn starch and water to extend our thinking about states of matter. As long as we kept moving and jumping, our feet would stay on the surface like a solid. But ... if we paused for too long, in they sank! It's a simple idea but really engaging.
I put together a bunch of little tricks and ideas that have saved me time over the years. I shared them with my friend Rachel over at Minds In Bloom, and you can see them HERE!
Hi Suzanna,
ReplyDeleteBeing in BC as well we took part in pink shirt (I'm blogging about it on the 5 for Friday this week) and I think it's such a great thing to teach young kids at an early age! I am happy to be Canadian and happy that we advocate so much for human rights!!
