Volcano Fun!
The children helped to build a volcano by covering a plastic water bottle with play dough, they then filled the bottle with bicarbonate of soda and added food colouring and white vinegar and observed what happened next...
" Lava burns"
"Fire is coming out"
"it's red, it looks like blood"
"it's gonna run over and onto the floor"
Learning about Gravity
To begin to understand How? and Why? questions....
The children wet their faces leaning over a table (and watched how the water dripped off their faces)
The children wet their faces again observed what happened to the water when laying down (rolled down their faces by their ears)
This was such a fun way to learn about gravity and find the answers out for themselves...
The Topic in Inventors is Space and the World
This activity was to encourage children to question why things happen... Staff began the activity and talked about the earth and the moon surface. The children dropped the stones from a height into the flour and watched how this created 'dust' and discussed.
This weeks provocation was a hidden egg in the outdoor play area.....
Wow, this caused SO much creative thinking and discussion with the children! Here are just a few of the comments the children made....
" There's a chicken inside, a baby one "
" Maybe it's a baby dinosaur"
"we need to make a nest"
"lets crack it and get the baby chicken out"
