Day 2 of Science Week: Experiments + Exploration = A Fun and Messy Day!

Our kids loved their second day of Science Week! We had tons of fun making new things, watching experiments, and learning about the world around us.

Red group grew rainbows, built with Magna-Tiles, and made exploding bags. Orange group dug for fossils before making shaving cream galaxies and bubble blowers. Yellow group made ping pong planets, went on a bug hunt, and watched the science fair put on by our wonderful counselors in training! Finally, Green group played predator vs. prey tag, made salt art, and watched a demonstration of what happens when Mentos are put into Coke.

Thank you to the CIT group who helped set up and run science experiment stations in the tent today! It was a highlight of our day!

We are all so excited for our zoo trip tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!

Science is All Around Us!

Happy first day of Science Week!

Our kids kicked off the week with science field games, curiosity-provoking crafts, and exploration projects. Red group started their day off by making styrofoam planets, played with stomp rockets, and made sensory bags. Orange group played with stomp rockets, experimented with coke and mentos, and made pipe cleaner flowers. Yellow group made coffee filter butterflies, traveled through an obstacle course, and went on a bug hunt! Green group ran a “Will it Float?” experiment, made lava lamps, and created marshmallow structures. We all had a lot of fun getting messy as we explored with mixing colors and ingredients!

We also had a special visit from the town police and fire departments who came to show off their awesome vehicles – it was a lot of fun! Thank goodness the fire department was here to visit – they saved a stomp rocket from spending the rest of the day on the office roof!

We’re looking forward to another inspiring day tomorrow!

Not Much Sun, But Still a Lot of Fun!

The weather held out for us today – we didn’t even get a drop of rain! We had a cloudy day at the pond but we had a nice picnic snack with our friends and then went for a swim with our counselors!

Next Up: Week 3 – Science!

We will be going to the Capron Park Zoo for a field trip next week.
