Lesson Notes

1. Children will be asked to fill their boxes with water for lesson 2. We have provided a garbage bag for them to place inside the box like the box is a trash can. If you have a plastic container that you rather have them use, by all means please do. We just need something that can hold water and is big enough for the kids to test their boats. Thank you so much.
