After the Scratch object oriented programming session that led up to the Holiday break, the 2nd graders were ready to come back and get their hands dirty as well as putting their creativity to the test! We did some wonderful projects and explored the science behind bath bombs, fizzy soaps, water molecule attractions (foam art), geometric structure engineering (with gum drops/toothpicks), hot air and tea bag flights, air cannons, how looks affect or even distort your sense of taste (apple juice experiment), polymers (making bouncy balls), tie dye circles, and some physics (in a lady bug race!). This group of students was able to tackle the wide range of projects with a very positive can do attitude. Check them out in action below:
