This week, our science classes explored several exciting topics through hands-on activities and real-world demonstrations. In the upper grades, we investigated electric charges and static electricity, learning how electrons move and how simple actions—like rubbing a balloon on hair—can create enough charge to move small objects. Students enjoyed experimenting with attraction and repulsion and observing how invisible forces can produce visible effects. We also continued our study of waves, focusing on the differences between transverse and longitudinal waves. Using classroom instruments and digital recorders, students captured and analyzed a variety of sound waves. They compared patterns, examined how vibrations travel through different materials, and discussed how wave shape connects to volume and pitch. Our younger learners had an exciting introduction to scientific tools. They explored microscopes, discovering how magnification allows us to see details far too small for the naked eye. We also learned about telescopes and how lenses help us view distant objects in space. These lessons helped students understand how scientists use specialized instruments to observe the world—from tiny microorganisms to the stars above.
Overall, it has been a fun, curiosity-driven week full of discovery and hands-on learning!
