Prep Science Corner October 17th

Flying Tea Bags and Science Magic!

Our brilliant Science Ambassadors literally turned up the heat as they explored convection with flying tea bags! With giggles, gasps, and a sprinkle of scientific wonder, they watched ordinary tea bags transform into soaring rockets. Who knew learning about hot air could be so cool? It was a whirlwind of fun, flames, and floating paper, proving once again that science isn’t just smart, it’s spectacular!

Moon Magic in the Classroom! 🌕✨

Year 5 turned into mini astronomers as they explored the mysterious phases of the Moon without even stepping outside!

Using models, torches, and plenty of imagination, they recreated waxing crescents, full moons, and waning gibbous shapes right in the classroom. There were “oohs,” “aahs,” and lots of “aha!” moments as the night sky came to life indoors.

Who knew learning about lunar cycles could be so illuminating?
