Highlights from Wind and Water!

We made snow angels and a snowman just like Peter did in "The Snowy Day!"


We used clay to create sculptures. We tested and observed to see what our clay would do when we left it in an air tight container compared to out in the open. Later we will make books to recornd what we see!








We watched our treasure ice cubes melt as we sprayed warm water with spray bottles!










We used squirt bottles and eye droppers to test different materials to see if they were absorbent or repellent. We talked about how familiar materials like our rain coats are waterproof and how other materials like paper towels are absorbent.









We enjoyed a visit from Flower, the 8 year old rabbit from the science center. We pet her, fed her a carrot and made droplets of water fall on her to see if her fur was absorbent or repellent. She reminded us of the rabbits from from "Rabbits and Raindrops."






Look at us! We dressed up like Peter and pretended to play outside on a "Snowy Day!"
