Good Afternoon!

This morning we had a discussion about “plumbing systems” as a friend coming into school talked about a a plumber needing to fix pipes at his house.  We created an activity to explore the movement of rice through a pipe system in order to process this idea further.  We added rice to the funnels and watched to see where and how the rice came out.  It took some thinking about the shapes of the elbows in the pipes and where the end of the tunnel was to figure it out.  Many kids enjoyed trying to place a cup in order to catch the rice when it came out of the pipe.  Older enjoyed moving the pipes around and testing what would happen with different bends and angles.  This activity helped to developed creative problem solving and critical thinking skills as kids explored.

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!
