SCIENCE at GFAA

This week we used our senses to explore HEAT. We learned that there are many sources of heat and that heat feels warm. We increased our basic understanding of heat energy.

We also recorded and organized data and our observations using pictures.

We made a snowman out of frozen water balloons.

We placed it in an electric skillet which was our source of heat.

We turned the skillet on and used our sense of observation.

We watched what happens when heat was added to matter. Especially matter made from frozen water! We saw it change from a solid snowman to liquid and then it started changing to a gas called steam!

After our observation, we recorded our data into our Science Journal.

College Day!!

Once a month we celebrate COLLEGE DAY! It is not too early to start talking to your child about what college they want to attend and what they want to be when they grow up.

It will probably change many time between now and Senior Year, but that's OK!!

Here are some GFAA Kindergartners sporting their college shirts.
