Science Day

Science day started with the egg drop. Katherine and Madison K. both made egg vessels that we watched fall from the school's roof. Great job girls! Mr. Gauthia dressed up as a chicken to drop the eggs. :-)

(The videos of the drops aren't loading, but it was an exciting morning. I hope your kids told you about it!)

The rest of the day students rotated to different kindergarten classrooms and learned about the 5 senses (see, hear, smell, taste, touch.) The activities with each sense is below:

 

Sight- Students tossed a ball and counted how many times they caught it. Then, their eyes were covered with an eye patch and they completed the same activity. They compared the number of time they caught the ball with one eye to two eyes.

 

Hearing- Students learned about sound waves and made an instrument.

 

Smell- Students smelled yummy and yucky smells.

 

Taste- Students learned about their tastebuds. They tried foods that we sweet, sour, and bitter.

 

Touch- Students learned about braille and texture.

 

Students enjoyed a popcorn treat where they saw and heard it pop, felt it, and tasted it.
