Science Magic Show!

A couple of weeks ago over 10 learners invited their families in to observe some Science Magic. Learners had performed these trick in front of a smaller audience in class, but wanted to share the fun with a larger group of people!

Over 30 people watched as learners performed tricks that could only be explained through science!

Take a look at what the students were able to do!

Plants beginning to grow!

We are excited to see that many of our plants and "Chia" houses are beginning to grow! It was fun to watch as our learners took care of their plants.

We will begin to HARVEST these plants soon so that we can look at them a little closer under a microscope.

We even grew some mold that we can look at!

Beginning to explore cells!

As we begin to explore how atoms and molecules join to form larger things, some of them living, we will do extensive exploring of different types of cells and their function.

To kick off the unit, learners are planting a variety of seeds in order to have live specimens that we can examine at a later date.

One of the fun ways in which we are planting seeds is by making seed houses out of sponges! You can see some of the learners work here:
