Wednesday- How are Rainbows Made?

Guiding Question to Discover Today: How are Rainbows Made?

Science Experiment:
















Need a Challenge?  As shown in the video, place your diamond on a white piece of paper.  Choose fine lined writing instruments like fine tip markers or colored pencils and find the 7 colors of the rainbow.  Shine your flashlight on your diamond so that a rainbow appears on your paper.  Carefully trace the colors of the rainbow. Move your diamond to a different location on your paper and repeat.  Keep going until you have traced rainbows all over your paper! 

Not Ready Yet?  Your child may be interested in the shadows the flashlight is creating, especially if they are having a hard time making/finding the rainbows.  Let your child play around with making shadow puppets on your wall or ceiling instead! 

Gross Motor:  Rainbow Dance!

Get your scarf from your learning kit.  Listen to the song below.  Dance to the beat of the music! Parents, take a video of your child dancing.  Upload the video to the folder below.  I will be compiling all of the videos into a video grid for a collaborative rainbow dance!  The scarves are all different colors and will look like a rainbow when all the videos are together!

    How do we upload the rainbow dance? Thanks!
    Isaac has been loving this camp!
    He has wondered...
    1. How water got here?
    2.How water and dirt make mud?
    3. Why rainbows make so many color?

      Those are great questions, Isaac! Have you discovered any answers yet? I bet you could easily figure out the answer to question number 2 by experimenting in your yard!

    Zalen said "rainbows come from God, from the mist and the sun. the sun reflects the color ans spreads the color", Brynlee said "rainbows come from unicorns". The kids liked making the light reflect from the diamond. Zalen really liked the shaving cream paint because it could stick up and make the objects 3D instead of regular paint. They both liked the shaving cream with the dye and mixing, swirling, and twisting the colors today. They also both liked putting the hands in the shaving cream and feeling the texture. Zalen has a bit of some sensory problems and would not touch the shaving cream unless he was above the sink to wash it off quickly, then he loved it. Zalen liked making his own bubble wand and using it to see how big he could make the bubbles. Brynlee like the beautiful colors in the bubbles. Both LOVED popping them!

Guiding Question to Discover Today: Where Does Water Come From? Story: Sensory: Art: Science Experiment: Need a Challenge?   After conducting the experiment, get a spoon to mix the shaving cream into the water.  Make a prediction like you did yesterday with our science experiment.  Will the shaving cream dissolve into the water or stay separate?  Try it out and observe! Not Ready Yet?   As you watch the rain fall from the cloud, can you make a sound like rain falling?  Can you make a sound like thunder? Gross Motor: Prepare Ice Cubes for Sensory Bin on Thursday: Remove paint popsicles carefully and put them in a different container.  Put back in freezer until Thursday.   Refill ice cube tray with water.  Add glitter to each cube for sparkly fun!  If desired, have your child find a small object to put in each section of the tray.  They will be challenged to excavate these objects on Thursday.  Try objects like buttons, Legos, nature,

Monday- What is Water?

Guiding Question to Discover Today: What is Water? Story: Sensory: Expansion idea: If you have a bigger bin or water table, move materials to it for more play space. Add more PVC pipes for more building fun! The ones provided are from Lowes. I bought long pipes and cut them into pieces with PVC pipe cutters.  Science Experiment: Need a Challenge?  Before beginning, follow the scientific method like a real scientist!  Record the method in your journal. Question: Which ingredients will dissolve in water? Hypothesize: Predict which ones will dissolve and which ones will not. Experiment: Conduct the experiment.  Observe: Draw/write what you see. Analyze: Determine what dissolving in water looks like.  Conclude: Tell which ingredients dissolved and which did not.  Not Ready Yet?   Choose just 2 ingredients to dissolve instead of 5.  Look, touch, and smell the mixtures in both cups.  What do you see?  How does the water feel?  Do they smell the s
