Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is NARROW. Today is February 2, 2008 which is also the birthday of Papa, our grandfather.

A narrow, triangular tunnel with mirrors on all three sides. On one end is a myriad of colors that appear like kaleidoscope when the handle is turned on the end where child can look inside. Wonderful colors it create. The children enjoyed looking at these colors during their Field Trip at the Science Centrum last January 24, 2008.

Lesson 13

Magnets

Magnets are objects that attract metals like iron and nickel.

Each magnet has two poles: the north and the south poles.

Like poles repel while unlike poles attract.

Lesson 11

Push and Pull

To push is to move an object away from you.

To pull is to move an object toward you.

Lesson 12

Wind and Moving Water

Wind and moving water can move objects.

Lesson 10

You Hear sounds

Sound is produced by the rapid back-and-forth movement of an object. Sound may be pleasant or unpleasant.

Lesson 9

You need light to see.

Light may come from natural or man-made.

Natural light are the sun and the moon.

Man-made lights are those that use electricity and/or batteries to give off light. Examples are: light bulbs, flashlight, fluorescent lights.

Other man-made lights are candles, gas lamps and/or torches. Gas lamps and torches need fuel such as kerosene to produce fire.

Lesson 8

Heat is important. The Sun is the major source of heat on Earth.

Heat is useful in among others: cooking the food, ironing the clothes, boiling water, keeping the body warm, drying wet clothes.

Too much of it can harm living things.

Heat can cause burns and blisters.

Lesson 7

Objects may float or sink

These objects floated during our experiment: pencil, cotton bud, paper boat. Objects that are very light float on water.

These objects sank when we did the experiment: paper clip, fastener. Objects made of metals, glass and cement are heavy. When placed in water, these sink.
