Unit: Scientists use their 5 Senses!
AM Activities:
Use a hairdryer to move different items. (motion)
Make and blow bubbles to discover wind energy.
Use the light table to look at different items, x-rays, and opaque
building blocks. Finger paint with Kool aid (smell). Use our 5 senses to
explore popcorn and cantaloupe.
Volcano experiment!
PM Activities:
Float /sink predictions and observations.
