We experimented with ramps and found out that some objects rolled down the ramp faster than others. The conversations round the table really helped the Busy Bees to have a better understanding about how they need to set up the ramp, and the objects they need to roll down the ramp.
Shells.....
Why do I hear a strange sound??
Can I grade the shells in order of size??
Can the shell make an impression on the sand??
Our very own compost bin
The Busy Bees had many questions about the compost bin and they have recorded their observations. They will use the compost to grow their own plants.
Seeds!!
Watching seeds grow
The young sceintist planted the seeds themselves and they made sure that they watered the plants everyday.
Sorting seeds in the science center helped our students with their fine-motor skills as well as their observation skills. They were given a mixed bowl of seeds which they had to
seperate in to four small bowls.
