🔎 Enrichment Update

This past week, the Discovery Museum in Acton, MA visited the K and 1st grades, and Techsploration visited the 3rd grade!

Discovery Museum Traveling Workshops
Kindergarten classes participated in a workshop about Force and Motion. The children discussed gravity, balance, pushing, and pulling. The students played with a variety of toys while discussing concepts relating to force and motion. Finally the students were able to design and construct their own inventions!

The First Grade students had a workshop on Light and Color. This popular topic had students engaged from the beginning with prisms, flashlights, and colored acetate paper in the darkened auditorium! As the students discussed the topics, they moved to the tables to begin their projects. The students made spinning tops, illustrating how the colors blend as they spin. Finally the first graders investigated how different black pens produced different colors when sprayed with water!

The Discovery Museum teachers always get our students thinking about the world around them! Thank you, parents!

This program was sponsored by Enrichment and would not be possible without your contributions to the CSA.

This program was supported in part by a grant from the Sherborn Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Techsploration Visits 3rd Grade
On Thursday, March 14th, the 3rd grade class enjoyed Techsploration's Forces and Motion science program. This engaging presentation included experiments using rockets, a mag-lev jet car, a hovercraft, a hot air balloon, and other fun props to demonstrate how people throughout history have been using engineering to solve problems in transportation and flight.

The students participated in workshops including one where they used basic hand tools to build a magnetic levitation racer prototype out of high density foam. They designed and built a wind propulsion system for their racer and raced them on an electronically timed mag-lev track.

Thank you parents! This program was sponsored by Enrichment and would not be possible without your contributions to the CSA.
