Science Night

The area public school hosted a science night for kids and I took our little scholars out to see what it was all about.  There were lots of different stations set up and we had a good time exploring them all.

We made tinfoil boats and tested them to see how many pennies they would hold.

Natalee's boat was quite flat and I was skeptical, but it did very well.

Our friends, the Sniders, joined us. We also ran into the Browns and the March's!

Electric and snap circuits was a fun station, too.  Joslynn was really excited about the snap circuits so we loaned her Xavier's kit to explore at home!  It's so fun (and helps me justify keeping!) to share our resources.

We laid down and painted, just like Michelangelo did when he worked on the Sistine Chapel.

Magnetic marble painting was a huge hit, too!

The local university brought reptile and amphibians to share.  Ameliya shocked me!  I stayed very quiet while she asserted her bravery.

I skipped the slime station initially (ha) but they had just enough time at the end to make some!

We have these same magnetic blocks but this room had curves and different pieces than we have - that makes it super fun!

Nannie was running a play-doh room, we also stopped by and did erupting pumpkins, sink or float, and a few others I didn't get pictures of.

We work hard to keep a good, healthy relationship with our local public school and appreciate that we were welcomed in for Science Night.
