Explorers - Tuesday, July 20th

Today featured a variety of different activities, from sword making, to paper making, to origami, to a newly created book club! We especially had fun adding new variations to our paper making, adding glitter and new colors. We'll see you Wednesday!

Swordmaking

"I like the design because it looks hard but not too hard. There is a snake handle to protect my hands." - Ada
"My strategy is to use the yardstick as a base for the blade." - Caleb
"I like the texture. It looks really good, Abby." - Dagny
"I make birdhouses a lot, and my grandfather is an engineer." - Ada

Paper Making

"Can somebody get the blender top?" - Carolina
"I can do it!" - Coco
"I can do it!" - Bela
"How about we do it together?" - Coco

Today we tried out a new color (orange!) and added glitter to the blender to give a different look to our paper!

"The glitter is going around and around in circles at the top." - Abby
"What do you think we should do?" - Carolina
"I think if we added some more water it would work." - Abby

                                                                                             "It almost looks like a volcano... It looks
​                                                                                                                like a geyser." - Fletcher
