Last week the kids learned all about
FAST and
SLOW. First, I told the story of the Tortoise and the Hare. I explained that slow and steady wins the race.
Next, we went to the kitchen to see if we could make a smoothie by stirring the ingredients
REALLY REALLY FAST. It didn't blend as well as they had hoped... :/ So I showed them what a powerful motor can do! I explained that with a little electricity and a strong moter we can make things go
SUPER DUPER FAST! We made a green smoothie together and the kids were surprised how much they really like spinach!
The motor was a little loud. :)
MAGIC!
YUM!
Then we had a race to test our slow and steady concept. I had the kids
run as fast as the could while I ran at a
steady pace. Suprisingly,:) I was able to out run them. Although, Dylan gave me a run for my money! Kenna won the second race with Jake was close behind. The kids most definatly got their
workout for the day, so did I!
Finally, we talked about how we can make objects go fast or slow. All the kids made
hypothesis about what would happen if we tried to go really slow on a bike. They also made hypothesis about what would happen if we put some crayons on the front of a
paper airplane. Would it make it go faster or slower? They learned that a
little weight in the front helped speed up the plane, but weight in the back was so good at all! I sure do love all of your kids! They were loads of fun to teach last week.
I LOVE LITTLE LEARNERS!!!
