Week of February 10 - 14

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's what we did in the Science Lab this week:
  • Kindergarten: We learned about heat and how it can change different objects. To illustrate this, we conducted an experiment to see which would melt first: a gummy Lifesaver or a hard Lifesaver. Ask your kinder kiddo to tell you the results!
  • 1st grade: We finished our two week lesson about seeds by sorting, measuring, comparing, and contrasting a variety of seeds.
  • 2nd grade:We got excited about StarLab by making constellation tubes.
  • 3rd grade: We learned about gravity and how it affects objects with different sizes, shapes, and mass.
  • 4th grade: We played an interactive force, motion, and energy game show game on the Promethean board.

Upcoming Events:
  • February 19 - March 4: StarLab is visiting OUES. Please make sure your student wears socks during on Science Lab days during that time. Younger students may wish to wear slip-on or Velcro shoes, as we will need to take our shoes off before we get into the tent. 
  • March 27: Our amazing PTO funded our first ever "Family Science Night." FSN is hosted by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The museum will have various science stations -- including a StarLab -- available for students to explore between 6-8 pm. All families that attend will receive 2 adult passes and 2 child passes to enter the museum for free. In addition, the Fort Worth Astronomical Society will set up giant telescopes in the playground area, starting at 6:30. Mark it on your calendar -- it will be a fun night!
