Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. -Benjamin Franklin
On April 16th, the high school department did a walking water science experiment. This rainbow activity is perfect for spring science! Students placed 7 cups in a row and poured water in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th cup. With hand under hand assistance, students added different colors to each cup to form a rainbow. Students watched the colored water begin to crawl up the paper towel. They also tapped each glass to hear different tones/sounds.

On April 1st, the high school department created rabbits and chicks out of washcloths. Students got to experience the varying textures of washcloths as well as practice communication goals in the process.
