Good Afternoon!

Today, in our sensory bin we did a water systems project. We were able to experiment with pipes and connectors to build different water systems.  We tested the pipe systems pouring water through and observing how the direction of water flow was affected.  We could pour our water in different ways as well.  We could used measuring cups and  funnels as well as using eye droppers to make the water flow through the pipes at different speeds.  We had some pipes with an on and off lever as well.  We were able to look inside the pipe as the lever was turned and see how water flow could be started and stopped in real plumbing systems.  We learned through trial and error how water always flows to the lowest point.

At the round table we had a terrarium habitat building activity for snakes, frogs and turtles.  Many of us have been itching to play with water and gravel outside so we created an activity inside that would (hopefully) indulge this  interest.  We used gravel, water, silk plants and rocks to build habitats for our amphibians and reptiles.  We ended up having an interesting conversation as a group at this table about how snakes can unhinge their jaws in order to swallow their food whole!  When they are finished they must yawn in order to put their jaw back in place!
