It's been a very smoky twenty-four hours here in Brooklyn! We haven't had rain in over a month, and the recent windy conditions resulted in red flag warnings being issued. With dry autumn leaves serving as kindling, we have the perfect recipe for fire. Over the last twenty-four hours, we've experienced local brush fires which have had a negative impact on our local air quality. This can feel like a dry throat, chest irritation, burning or dry eyes, and can result in coughing, wheezing, and the worsening of preexisting medical conditions.
Thank you for joining us for our annual family Halloween party at the Kiddie Science Lab! It was a fun time crafting, exploring, and getting a little messy with our science experiment. It's always a fun time at the Kiddie Science Lab!
We're excited to be back for another year of hands-on science enrichment with the third graders at PS 9. Here, we present a custom 10-week unit that complements their study of traits and inheritance.
We explore this topic through a series of hands-on explorations aimed at engaging at making real world connections. We present scientific vocabulary (in English and Spanish) and conclude our study with a final project. This school year, we're excited to be partnering with Lefferts Gardens Montessori School for a science residency that includes the entire school! For the last few weeks, and through the end of the school year, young scientists enrolled at LGM will be exploring hands-on science both at the Kiddie Science Lab and on-site at their school.
So far, we've introduced young scientists to living things, conducted a simple chemical reaction, learned to use handheld microscopes, explored how living things are classified, and started learning a bit more about birds and feathers. And the fun is just getting started!! We are thrilled for this partnership and for the new learning opportunities available to the youngest learners in our community! |
My son LOVES these classes, so informative, hands on and fun! Loading PurpleAir Widget...
