This month the second graders are exploring the possibilities of careers in science! Right now, we are in the middle of Meteorology Week and are learning about the ways that meteorologists use science to predict the weather.
On Monday, we started making volcanos with Ms. Lauren. We can't wait to set them off on Thursday or Friday. It's going to be a blast! On Tuesday, Ms. Nicky led a series of exciting experiments! In the first we tried to create rain using a jar of hot water and a plate of ice. Can you guess what happened? In the second experiment, Ms. Nicky took a balloon and created static by rubbing it over the kids' heads. Then, with the lights off, she touched the balloon to a fluorescent light bulb... The results were illuminating! And even though the cold weather is almost out of sight, we still couldn't help making some good old fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup with Ms. Stephanie!
