End of the year Block Party! Discovery 2014

Tinker Tinker Tell A Story This year's Discovery Block Party had our kids taking everything a part and putting it back together. For the last few weeks our children divulged their imaginations to piece together stories from non-veggie eating zombies to bees building a hive. Their stories included wacky pictures and props constructed from the ground up to bring their stories to life. Stories weren't the only thing being constructed. Check out our kids breaking down and building up new structures with legos, Styrofoam planes, and more. They also enjoyed tearing apart old computers and more to see what makes them tick.

We never know what the future holds with technology evolving at the speed of light and green energy slowly taking over the globe. How will we live in the next 10-100 years. Perhaps non-degradable marshmallow homes? Every Discovery class constructed homes made from popsicle sticks, marshmallows and some even created an entire model home complete with grass. This project got our students some literal hands on experience with 'raw materials' combined with creativity to design a home. Now let's see what they can come up with for inside a home...

3rd - 6th Grade Discovery - "Solar Ovens"

The third through sixth grade Discovery classes  tried their hands at outdoor cooking by building a solar oven and roasting some sweet, sticky s'mores. Black paper, foil, and an old pizza box sufficed as an oven to place in the sun to melt the chocolate and turn the marshmallows to sweet goo.
