Science Experiment

 

It is wonderful to have parent volunteers in the Kindergarten classroom because then more learning opportunities can be explored by the children. So in the afternoon the children were offered with a big challenge. They were to use some materials to build something for a gingerbread cookie to float on so it would not get wet in the water. The materials on hand for them to use were: masking tape, pieces of Styrofoam, and tin foil. All the students who worked with Mrs. P. planned their ideas in the heads and thought carefully before they were ready for the big experiment. "What it work or would it not"? Many of the students were very hopeful that it would work because they did not want to eat a soggy cookie and they could hardly wait to get to eat the cookie. Some of the students told me "this is the best day ever".

I have included some of the photos of their creations. Everything worked and not one student had to eat a soggy cookie. The morning students will have an opportunity to complete the experiment tomorrow (Thursday).
