We started our first science unit at the beginning of this week! It's called "Balance and Motion". If you click HERE, you can visit the company's website. There are super fun games and activities that can continue the learning at home!
We've learned a few science words that are very important:
"balance"
"stable"
"balance point"
"counterweight"
"wobble"
Today's experiment: Try to make a pencil balance on its tip while resting on a popsicle stick taped to the desk!
Ryan clipped clothespins to his pencil to add extra weight.
Ella made her pencil more weighted at the bottom of it.
Darian gives her set-up a try:
Will gave it a good first effort!
Jalena tries her best!
Ethan has a good idea!
Next, each child was given a piece of flexible wire to use. Maybe adding wire will help that pesky pencil balance!
Look at Devin's pencil! It's balancing on its tip!
Jalena got hers to balance in a different way.
Hayley got it!
April also managed to get hers to balance!
Look at Will's! 
Madhav got it, too!
Go, Carter!
Hannah did it!
Yay, April!
Ethan's is balancing sideways!
You did it, Darian!
Don't tip it over, Max!
Lookin' good, Anya!
Nice one, Macy! 
Nice one, Deana!
Nice, Jayden!
Science rocks!!
