Science and More

We sure had a blast in October exploring Spooky Science and Art in preparation of our Halloween Carnival.  We hope that everyone who had the chance to attend had a wonderful time!  Sadly we were so busy during the event to take even one photo! 

So instead this blog will showcase our prep work leading up to the event; especially our weekly Wednesday science experiments that you may or may not have known about.  Enjoy the photos and please encourage other parents to read our blog.

Our November theme is Thankfulness during which we explore natural resources, food chains and more during science Wednesdays. Also please be sure to sign-up soon for childcare over Winter Break if  you think that you may need it.  - Chris

Aaron renamed this dish soap, food coloring and milk chemical reaction experiment "Ghost Droll" to draw a bigger crowd and it worked!  Older kids, girls, boys and even some parents could not resist the draw of the swirling colors.

Tree Frog Treks visits our morning toddler program, Miniposa each Tuesday.  One week they were kind enough to leave behind some recently shed snake skin for us to explore.

During this experiment students carved apples then soaked them in salt water so that osmosis would shrivel the apples creating a "Shrunken Head" effect.

In this experiment, "Witch's Brew" students mixed a variety of gross ingredients until Paola finally added her magic touch (baking soda and vinegar) to get a spectacular chemical reaction. 

In this experiment students made slime which we displayed at our very haunted house.  Although we are still cleaning up after everything, it was all worth it because the kids loved it!!!!
