Here Comes the Sun!!

Yesterday our scientists set out to explore how the sun affects the weather and to learn more about it's "job."  We set up an experiment in our courtyard to see what would happen if we placed some ice cubes in a shady spot and some in a sunny spot.  The children had a fabulous time searching for the differences between these two sites.  We used the mimio pen to drag some facts that we learned from our experiment into the appropriate section of our venn diagram.  This helped us to think about all that we learned while observing our ice cubes.

Each table group had a photographer who took pictures of our ice cubes in both the sunny and shady spots.

Look for our animation-ish movies coming soon!!!!  We used a digital technology program to show how our ice cubes melted in both the sun and the shade.
