Upcoming Out and Abouts
This Wednesday, we will use our Out & About time for a science lab about electricity! Next week, we will continue our study of electricity with a Toy Take Apart Day! Students will work in small groups to safely dismantle and learn about the "guts" of their toys. We will need parents to help with disassembly, as well as donations of old/broken mechanical toys (stuffies with batteries or switches, dancing Santas, remote-control cars, etc). Toys will not be reassembled or returned.
Tools Needed: All sizes of standard and Phillips head screwdrivers, pliers and wire cutters. Please label tools with your student's name so they can be returned.
