Last week, our Preschool had a visit from a scientist from The Science Crew, and put on their thinking caps to become real scientists! With wide eyes and excited giggles, they explored what happens when things fizzle, pop, and BOOM!
First came the fizzle — tiny bubbles danced and tickled as our little scientists watched a bubbly reaction come to life. Each student also got to make their own fizzle with a take home experiment.
Then came the pop — surprise sights and sounds that made everyone jump and laugh!
And finally… the BOOM! — a colorful burst of excitement that had the whole room cheering.
Through hands-on discovery, our preschoolers practiced imagining, observing, and describing what they saw. Science isn’t just fun — it builds curiosity, confidence, and big thinking skills!
Who knew learning could be this exciting? 💥✨
