Pop into a Kindergarten classroom during center time and you will find the children and morot elbow deep into something. Whether it is goo, slime, Play-doh or some type of baking batter, our Kindergartners are constantly busy doing hands-on science activities that are both fun and educational. We use trial and error to test recipes, some edible and some inedible, and get them just right. The children learn that the process is just as important as the product, which is usually something cool or yummy. Some science activities yield immediate results and some are watched over time. The children really enjoyed a particular activity in which we put one egg in vinegar, one in cola and one in water. We observed each egg and noted the interesting results over time - and it was worth the wait.

An example of an activity that led to instant excitement was rubbing each child's hair with a balloon to see static electricity in action; it was a hair raising experience. Our little scientists enjoy planting, experiments using heat, color mixing, changing solids into liquids, combining acids and bases and many more captivating scientific exercises. These experiences help to foster a curiosity that makes our Kindergarten students  lifelong learners and risk takers, setting them up for future success in science and math.
