Experiments Permitted!
Preschool visits "The Little Experimental Workshop" of the Upper School
Fifth- and sixth-graders who signed up for the third FUF-module 鈥渇ield biology鈥� came up with a special idea. With great enthusiasm they selected and prepared small experiments for preschoolers. The preschool students of the Frog, the Ladybug and the Seahorse groups were invited to the 鈥淏ig School鈥� where they performed these hands-on activities under the professional guidance of the 鈥淔uFies鈥�; a self-made light bulb a piano made of real bananas, a swimming candle and a lava lamp, all of which fascinated the preschoolers. Finally, the children mixed an interesting solution for soap bubbles to take back to the preschool.
The children鈥檚 visit to the science building was a fun-filled experience for the preschoolers and the 鈥淔uFies鈥� alike.
