🤔 Which one is heavier? A green orange, a lime or a rock? ⚖️
Today our little scientists explored the concepts of heavy, light, and balance using a balance scale and a variety of natural materials, including green oranges, limes, rocks, leaves and sticks. 🌿🪨
The children made predictions, tested their ideas, and compared different objects to discover which side of the scale would go up, down, or stay balanced. Through this hands-on STEM investigation, they practiced observation, problem-solving, comparing, and early math skills while expanding their vocabulary in both English and Spanish.
✨ Sometimes the smallest objects are heavier than we expect… and that’s what makes discovering so much fun!
