I wonder how that works?

We were given some old keyboards and telephones. We wondered what was inside them that made them work. We used some screwdrivers to open them up. We found special buttons and a a switchboard. Hunter said the power goes in there and makes it work. We wonder if we can put it back together?

Water and music!

Today at Discovery Time water, jars and forks were put out. We wondered what would happen if you carefully hit the jars with the fork and also what would happen if we had water in the jars. Josh spent some time experimenting and then said "Look everyone, I can play a tune!"

Discovery in Room 5. 4 November 2013.

A group of children were very intrigued with the objects in a water trough.  The children talked about how some of the objects were floating and some were sinking.  We wondered why some things float and some sink.

Some of the children gave their thoughts on why things float and some sink.

Then we decided we needed to get the opinion of an expert!!
