The Orange Room had an absolute blast during our very first science class this week! 🚀
We kicked off our science journey with a hands-on exploration of solids using kinetic sand and various wooden tools. The children became little scientists as we discovered that a solid is a state of matter that keeps its shape—unless you push, bend, or break it!
We had a wonderful conversation about kinetic sand’s unique consistency and its polymeric makeup, which is just a fancy way of saying it’s regular sand coated in a special, stretchy material that helps it hold its shape! The children noticed how easy it was to mold into shapes, giving their hand muscles an excellent workout. They practiced precision and fine motor control as they watched its fluid, almost magical movement slip through their fingers and drip off their spoons.
Best of all, we proved that learning about science can be incredibly fun. Check out the photos below to see our imaginative science explorers in action! 🧪✨
