The preschoolers have been learning about life cycles. The one they are learning about now is the plant life cycle , so they are planting seeds to watch the life cycle happen. So fun!
The 8th grade science students were back in the lab on April 2nd having fun creating colorful swirls in milk.
The objective of the lesson ("Milk Rainbow") was to demonstrate the property of surface tension and the effect that soap, a surfactant, has on the surface tension of milk. When a drop of liquid dish soap (on a cotton swab) is added to milk, the surface tension of the milk is reduced. As this occurs, the fat (butterfat) and protein particles in the milk can move more freely and easily. This action can be seen as the food coloring swirls through the milk.
CONTENT TOPICS: Scientific inquiry; states of matter; properties of matter; attractive forces (surface tension); and mixtures (such as emulsions).
On March 26th, students went on a tour of State Fair Community College. They all had a great time.

Kindergarten enjoying the chicks.
More pictures of the preschoolers enjoying the chicks.
We can always tell when spring is here when the chicks start hatching! Preschool through third grade students got the chance to watch chicks hatch this week. Thanks to the MU extension office in Warrensburg, the classes were able to see the process of the chicks being incubated and hatching. Aren't they cute?
