Early Science Exploration

Tamariki at Central Kids Dinsdale ELC in Hamilton have been really interested in how different resources react with mixed together.  Recently they were exploring mixing different colours using cornflour and coloured water with droppers and watching them change to make a new colour.

Tamariki have been learning to problem solve through exploring how simple electric circuits work.  They have been exploring positive and negative power from a battery using different coloured wires e.g. red for positive and black for negative.  The object was to make a light glow and a small motorised wheel to go around.
