Science Enrichment Class

Week 1 - We worked with magnets and experimenting on what is magnetic and what is not.  We also created our very own sensory bottles.  What did we choose to put inside them?  Oil, water, food color, glitter, letters, foam balls, shells… it’s all up to what each child wanted to create! 



Week 2- We created different types of “dough” and slime.  Some of it was play dough like and some of it was so super soft to touch.  We also had fun playing with our sense of touch.  Some of the dough even “melted” when we touched it… what a fun way to spend an afternoon!





Week 3 – This week we made things foam, erupt, and bubble over.  We made  bubbles indoors, created eruptions from simple household chemicals and also explored liquids, including what happens when colors are added to them. 






Week 4 – We were deemed official scientists this week and received a certificate to state that fact.  We ended our science investigations by using magnifying glasses to investigate all the different types of things we have laying around our room, our kitchens and outside.  We did a final experiment to see what will clean pennies the best. Was it soap, water, ketchup, vinegar, baking soda, or apple juice?   


What at WONDERFUL Enrichment class we had over the past four weeks!! We can't wait until the next one!!
