✨ JDBY girls joined Walder Science with their mothers, bubbes, and aunts for The Chemistry of Bubbles, a truly fun and educational afternoon filled with hands-on experiments, dry ice bubbles, and discoveries about what makes bubbles stretch, shimmer, and float. 🫧
Dozens of families celebrated Tu B’Shevat with Walder Science through a hands-on, joyful experience connecting nature and learning. Participants ground wheat into flour just as in Gemara times, planted wheat seeds to take home, and practiced challah braiding with 3–7 strand designs. 🌾 Families raced to count pomegranate seeds, created woven baskets, and made a take-home Seven Species ring booklet. Everyone left with a deeper, more meaningful connection to the holiday. 🌱🌳

Silicone turned out to be the perfect material for mold-making. Its flexibility and ability to preserve detail opened the door to a discussion about polymers and material properties. Custom candle molds were designed, mixed, and poured to cast mini Havdalah candles. 🕯️

From 3D Design to Fresh-Baked Cookies, the 3D printers baked cookies using cutters they designed and printed themselves. This project brought together sketching, pattern design, and 3D thinking, and ended with a delicious reward. Engineering has never tasted so good. 🍪

Our math builders brought math to life this week through games like Scoop, Group & Sort and a “Human Place Value” activity. These junior mathematicians physically stepped into the roles of 1s, 10s, 100s, and 1000s. Cracking secret math codes made it even more fun. 🔢

🐁 After weeks of design and revision, it was time for participants to test their mazes with a live gerbil! Students ran experiments, observing curiosity, memory, and behavior. They learned why controlling variables matters and how small changes like obstacles or scents can affect results.
