Special Day
Special days have officially started with James’ presentation this week! James has done a wonderful job presenting about himself, and our 3A friends listened to his presentation as awesome audience members!
We learned that James’s favorite food is strawberries and his favorite animals are zebras and horses! He also showed a few pages of his favorite book: National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book of Dinosaurs. James is planning on taking horseback riding lessons once he moves to Colorado. We loved every part about your presentation!
Whose Shoe is Heavier?
As we continue to experiment with weight in different medium, we decided to weigh our shoes! Clare paired our friends, and the children weighed their shoe on a balance scale. Before we weighed them, we made our hypothesis. Between Alexandra’s indoor furry boot and Henry’s sneaker, most of our friends guessed that Alex’s furry boot would be heavier than Henry’s sneaker because it was bigger in size! Sloane said, “it’s gigantic!” So when we weigh them, the result was a surprise! It was actually Henry’s sneaker which was heavier than Alex’s furry boot! We concluded that large objects are not always heavier than smaller objects!
Seesaw
We decided to wrap up our exploration of weight by going back to our initial interest, the Seesaw! This time, instead of playing (going up and down) we decided to stay still and see which friend is heavier between the two. For most of our pair-ups, our friends guessed correctly because the bigger friends were heavier. However, between Barak and Sloane, it was interesting because many of our friends guessed that Barak would be heavier than Sloane, but when they lifted their feet from the floor, Sloane’s side went down. As a result, we realized that between two people who have similar size bodies, the only way to figure out who’s heavier is to actually go on the seesaw!
