Play-Doh I'm sure you see that before we you things like Legos weird Domino's in blocks like tape Deus Ex recycled materials like tubes to make new things my friends have been able to make this year

is Aaron weather and if you see behind me you get a little bit of a clue that we're going to find out about the power of wind and one thing you'll get to just the wind with his by making a kite and to go outside and smoke another little trick I have is get a plastic bag full of fun objects to test out with the air and wind but what would happen I'm going to call my bag yeah there's nothing in there I can't push the sides together I know why after we talked about it and whether we move onto are solids and liquids unit you'll get a variety of solids to experiment with and you'll find out if they can stop if they can roll eBay float for today quotes or do they were you sure to guess what was going to happen with after we talked about our solid will move onto our liquid and you can see I have to clear colorless liquids in these cups but you notice that one horse or flows more slowly than the other why could that be but has to do with the states of matter Loosely packed molecules medium we packed and tightly packed I'll make up the difference states of matter gas liquids and solids and we will talk about that next year then we move on to the most exciting unit that all the students enjoy every year and you can see behind me we are talking about the parts of an insect today we made it puzzles but we've been watching these guys very closely to see what's going to happen to these caterpillars your slow leak rolling your way up to the top of the cup you have any ideas what's going to happen so looking at these interesting Little Creatures it's a mealworm and so far they're not doing a whole lot just living in their habitat eating and eating and eating slowly but surely nothing interesting is going to happen with them finally will end the Year by sorting and shaking and sifting all different sizes of rocks and sand everything else in between and you'll get find out things that are made out of natural materials and all their different sizes and how we find them and where they come from so until then enjoy your summer time your last few weeks of kindergarten and I can wait to see you all in the halls of upper Allen next year for first grade bye-bye I seem to be
