This month, our preschool scientists at our in-school residencies are learning about the jobs scientists do. Using our previously learned observation skills, we explored authentic fossils then conducted an excavation of our very own. Young scientists excavated, and took home, authentic fossils for their collection. Our specimens were over 10,000 years old!
Rare science happened this weekend right here in Brooklyn! Did you get a chance to smell it?? A rare corpse flower bloomed this weekend for a very short time at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Without hesitation, Ms. Carmen and her nose were there to be a part of it!
It's been a fun time exploring engineering with our after school science groups this winter! We've focused on how lift, drag, and thrust can be used to make simple flying machines. So far, all of our creations have been made of paper and have delivered impressive results. This week, we learned about paper hoop gliders and created our own to test and fly. After some simple troubleshooting, we were easily able to fly them an impressive distance.
One of the defining characteristics of living things is growth and development. Although not a living things, that's exactly what's happening with Kiddie Science! After seven amazing years at the commercial space we lovingly called the Lab, we officially all packed up and into the world.
Happy New Year!
Thank you for joining us for our culminating annual celebration! We danced, played, ate together, crafted, and had fun among friends. Truly an amazing way to end our time at the Kiddie Science Lab! Check out some of the pictures below- |
