Jr. Enginering at School

At school on the Oct 9th, a program called Jr. Enginering came and the kids were able to learn a bunch of different thigns for their age group, then that night the school hosted a show and teach where the kids got to teach thier parents what they learned. This is the construction truck maze for K- 2nd grade. Weston got to show Ray how they worked and give him a ride. Bekah, in red also got to have a ride.

Bekah learned about dinosaurs in her class. They put on a play about baby dino's hatching from their eggs, it was really cute. She was embrassed in this picture.
Weston taught us about the color wheel, and if you spin it fast all the colors make brown. This wheel was hooked to a drill and it was spining when I took the picture!

Weston also taught us about prisms and light and rainbows. The kids had fun looking through the prisms to see the rainbows.Ellie taught us about hydralics, and how increasing or decreasing the amount of fluid in each joint causes them to move. This was fun because everyone got to play with the machines. Weston loved it, he made the machine pick up all the objects and drop them in the cylinder.
This is a picture of Ellie making the machine pinch her nose.
This was a fun night for the parents and the kids.
