Natural Discovery

This is a wonderful example. Children are able to explore and use equipment in the classroom how they see fit. On this day one child brought a small prism into the block area and accidentally(so I believe) set it in the sun. Soon there was a flurry of children gathered around explaining what they discovered. The experimented moving the prism around in the different sun spots until......

....they discovered it casts light and made a triangle.

One quick twist.........and.........

the discovery had been made...........a RAINBOW!

Along came a spider ......

...............and sat down beside her....


After studying the ants the children noticed the legs look like spider legs. We got our spider box and compared the spiders to the ants. We counted all the legs on the spiders and all of them had 8.

We remembered that ants on have 6.

Drawing our spiders just right. Counting the legs to make sure there are 8.

Picking out colors to match the spiders.
