Plants in different places (Class 1)

 Students were taken to the ground to observe plants growing at different places

Monthly Activity - Scare away the germs

Science surrounds us, inside & out! Children are always looking to explore, discover, check out, and experiment to find out why things do what they do, move like they move, or change like they change!

We did a simple science experiment today as a part of Monthly activity just to increase the curiosity & interest of the child towards scientific learning.

Activity requires adult supervision therefore was done along with the teacher in School.

Activity Name - Scare away the germs (Soap & Pepper Experiment)

 Science Behind: pepper is hydrophobic (can't dissolve in water) Soap breaks the surface tension of water & causes pepper to no longer float on top.

Activity was used to incorporate importance of keeping hands clean.A hand cut out was pasted under the transparent container, some black pepper was sprinkled which acted as germs on hands then a drop of handwash/liquid wash was put which made the pepper float away towards the side(Cleaning the area of the hand clean).

This helped these little scientists observe that how the use of soap scares the germs and shoo them away.

Earth Day- Nature Bands

Students of class Pre School Cambridge were taken to the school ground to make 'D.I.Y Nature Band' on the ocassion of Earth Day celebration.

From the bright and bold colours of flowers and a sunset, to the soft blue of the sky or lush green of the grass, Mother Nature's palette is so magical!

This simple nature activity, inspires children to explore the colours of nature and observe things that they normally wouldn't notice.

 The activity was simple yet engaging and these little ones enjoyed making the colourful pretty band.

The tape was wrapped around the wrist of each child(sticky part outside) and they were asked to walk around observe their surroundings(they spotted butterflies around) and pick up the fallen flowers or leaves from the ground and stick it on the band around their wrist.

This might seem super simple, but there are many learning opportunities for the child:

🌿 Sensory exploration: visual, tactile and auditory

🌿Speech & vocabulary development (names of different colours, plants, insects etc.) Gross motor work (lots of running around).

An activity to instill love for mother Earth with the message 'We should not pluck flowers or leaves from the plant'.
