LIGHTS IN OUR SKY
Develop your learner's curiosity about things in the sky. In this lesson, learners investigate the sun, moon, and stars and grow their understanding of the universe.

LIGHT AND SHADOWS
Learners will explore the dynamics of light, engage in shadow play, experiment with shadow puppets, and trace shadows, leading to a stronger awareness of how light creates shadows.

BUGS!
Children will observe, graph, create and imagine while they look closely at insects and arachnids and their life cycles during this lesson.

ENGINEERING RAMPS AND PATHWAYS
Children will become architects and engineers as they create pathways for objects to travel. Using the engineering design process, learners will test different materials and compare and contrast results.

MIXING A RAINBOW
Mix, fizz, spin, splat! Learners will explore color theory in a variety of modalities and retell a familiar story about how primary colors make secondary and tertiary colors.

ORCHESTRATING SOUNDS
Explore the different sections of the orchestra while investigating pitch, volume, and rhythm. They will experiment with the sounds everyday objects make and be encouraged to play real instruments.

SENSING THE FIVE SENSES
How do our senses help us relate and respond to the world around us? Learners expand their understanding of the five senses and their importance through immersive play.

WACKY WEATHER
