Outside discovery activities.



Inside discovery activities.



Magnets


Tobias made a spinning top.
Corbin used a giant magnet to clean up the floor.

Carmichael attached magnets to some scissors.

Cassidy can feel the magnets pushing each other.

Lachlan made a field of magnet trees.

Science, dissolving lollipops

We put lollipops into hot water and watched what happened.
We didn't know what the water would do to the stick.

Discovery activities

Look at the train on its track.


Making music.

Water tray.

We have been exploring capacity.

Look at the communication device Ashley made.

Can you put a hole through a bag of water, without it leaking?

Ask your child to demonstrate.
Material needed:
A plastic bag that can be sealed up, we used Glad bags.
A very sharp pencil.

Three quarters fill the bag with water and seal it.
Hold the bag in one hand and push the pencil through.

Discovery. Just what do you do if someone uses your construction blocks?


We could just get another one or ask for it back.
It did happen today. We asked the person what happened and that person said "I didn't know someone else had it first."
