3/13/2015 0 Comments Chemistry!We survived Force & Motion! Well, rather, my colleagues survived marbles rolling around the hallway, dodging balloon cars, and squeals of delight when a robot finally responded to a command! I just hope the Maintenance staff forgives me for all the marshmallows from the catapults in various places and fixtures... I'm so very glad that they care as much about my students and their enthusiasm for Science as much as I do!
Off to new adventures! This time we are diving into Chemistry. We begin slowly by playing with density. Dropping things in water and creating Lava Lamps are fun in the name of Science! This sets us up for the fun stuff, chemical reactions! So far, I haven't had any major mishaps (fires, chemical burns, dogs and cats living together in harmony. You know, pandamonium) and I think that has to do with our safety training. Before we ever begin, each child has to sign a Science Contract, initially the rules and proceedures that are to be followed at all times. They are happy to do so because this means that they are the "Lab Masters" and benefit by experiencing the hands-on awesomeness of Science! Stay tuned viewers!
