Full STEAM Ahead! Interdisciplinary, multi-sensory learning is the heart of the Preschool experience at ROBS. This was apparent in January when our Prekindergarten students joyfully embarked on an exploration of the single most essential molecule in our lives – water.
Students learned vocabulary words like condensation, precipitation, and saturation, and experimented with surface tension by using their fine-motor skills and a pipette to collect water droplets on a penny.
Students were captivated by the Rain Cloud in a Jar experiment, where they observed food coloring saturate shaving cream “clouds,” creating rain.
Will it sink or float? That was the question for Prekindergarten students who constructed aluminum foil boats and then tested their buoyancy in a STEM lesson on water.
