Mixing Lab

One of our activities this summer that the schoolagers found particularly engaging was a Mixing Lab. Available supplies included cornstarch, baking soda, salt, vinegar, water, paint, and milk.

Learning About Clouds and Rain

This week, we made rain jars to go along with our "April Showers" theme.



The children used pipettes to drip watercolor paint into shaving cream clouds.



We used language like squeeze, drip, heavy, fill, and saturate.



We learned that when a cloud gets full of water, rain falls!

After we were finished working with our rain jars, we used the leftover (now colorful!) clouds to make lovely prints.

STEM Work

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math skills are important.  We learn them best through fun experiences!  Our group had a competition to see who could build the largest structure.  After time was up, we measured the creations and discovered that one was longest, and another used the largest amount of supplies.  Most of the group agreed that the DE-construction was the best (tastiest!) part.
