I helped out at Connor’s science lab on Friday.  Their class was learning about dams.  At the experiment, they were comparing how quickly the water sift through different construction materials, and the kids had to use a timer.  They all had fun racing against the other table groups.

   On Monday, it was Logan’s turn for my volunteering.  Their class learned about a chemical reaction.  They combined yeast with sugar and added warm water to it, and each table had a control group.  It was interesting to see how much carbon dioxide was made in the flask with the sugar.  The top from Logan and Lucas’ flask actually popped out in the middle of the class and gave the class a little laugh.  At the end, the kids got to smell their experiment solutions, and many of them did not care about the little alcohol smell from it.
