We took advantage of the cold weather and explored light and color today. Children were able to experiment with how light reflects and how it can change their play.
Of course, many began their light inquiry with flashlights. In our black hallway, F and C turned off the lights and were going through a cave exploring and digging. E and J were turning their flashlights all around the room. They took inventory of what reacted to the light and what didn't. M, M and T noticed that when you shine your light through the magnetic blocks the color becomes brighter. They soon began to wonder if the thickness of the block matters on how bright it can shine.
Other children were invested in creating different colors and exploring different textures of salt and oil.
M - "I'm making icky, wicky soda"
M - "This is so slimy!"
S - "The colors are changing into just brown goo"
Other children were brave and explored into the cave. Children were able to explore Magnatiles and different lights - flashlights and string lights.
