Natural Energy: Motion Commotion

Grades: K - 2nd (Ages: 5 - 8) Co-ed

Big Learning

Explore natural forces such as air, water, gravity, and magnetism and learn what makes things move!  How does a tightrope walker balance? How well do you smell?  How does color move and change through absorption? Make a butterfly fly and paper clips levitate using magnetic power. Race static magic cans and make a hygroscopic fish wiggle in the palm of your hand. Each week delve into a natural force with several hands-on activities.

Additional Notes

Students bring home a cover sheet from their first class which outlines the topics covered each week. Students will also bring home a Word of the Week ‘WOW’ and at least one project. We encourage parents to ask to see their project and to explain the WOW.
