πβοΈ 3β¦2β¦1β¦ BLAST OFF! π
Our little engineers at Innovation & Exploration Preschool in Huntingdon Valley had a blast designing, folding, and launching their own paper rockets! π
Hands-on learning + big imaginations = the perfect recipe for fun.

We had a blast during Buoyancy Week! ππ€
The kids tested buoyancy, designed boats that could carry people, and kept track of our experiments with a tally graph. We also explored density by testing the same objects in plain water, salt water, and oil to see how each liquid affected whether things floated or sank.
So many great questions, creative ideas, and exciting discoveries this week. Science is always more fun when you can get your hands wet! π§ͺπ

Our little scientists put their engineering skills to the test by building tin foil boats and experimenting with toys, pennies, and other objects to see what would sink and what would float. There were plenty of predictions, surprises, and hands-on learning along the way!
STEM + curiosity = a boatload of fun! π€

This week, our little engineers dove into the world of bridges! π
We read books about bridges, explored different types of bridges, and learned who designs and builds them. During our nature walk, we practiced recognizing shapes and discovered how shapes help make bridges strong. We also conducted a bridge foundation experiment, testing different materials to see which could provide the best support. To wrap up our learning, we explored famous bridges from around the world and discussed how bridges are planned and constructed.
What a fun week of building, exploring, and discovering! π¨β¨ππΏ

This week our little explorers dove into all things water ππ¦
We tested sink or float with boats, made waves with an ocean engineering activity, learned how rivers and lakes move water, and even discovered why an egg floats in salt water! ππ€π₯
Ohβ¦ and now everyone is apparently a certified ocean expert after learning all 5 oceans π
Preschool science is serious business around here.
