Orbeez - Did they get bigger?

B. brought some Orbeez to school. I asked if we could add water and watch them grow. "They don't grow," he said.

We put them under the document camera and drew around the orbeez on the screen, then watched throughout the morning to see if they orbeez got bigger.

B. was not convinced they had got bigger. He said that the camera had magnified them.

Observation, experimentation, sharing thoughts. More experimentation is needed.

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap.  It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another.  The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
