We would like to thank the Johnson County Library for being with us today and sharing some engaging STEM activities after our weekly story time. Our Panthers were very busy today.
Not only did our panthers make Gluep but they also made a Living Seed Necklace. They learned about what is required for a seed to germinate and a plant to thrive. We would like to again thank Greg Meade with Kentucky Farm Bureau of Paintsville for sponsoring Kentucky Department of Agriculture Mobile Science Activity Center. Our Panthers are enjoying the science enriched, engaging activities.
Today our Panthers enjoyed making Gluep that demonstrated to students that chains (polymers) behave in many interesting and surprising ways, depending on how the chains are made. They discussed science vocabulary which included monomer, polymer, states of matter, solid, liquid, gases, properties and much more science enriched vocabulary. We would like to thank the Mobile Science Activity Center for such engaging activities for our Panthers.
Students began enjoying our final week of summer camp with sand art for their enrichment activity.
We would like to thank Greg Meade and Kentucky Farm Bureau of Paintsville for funding the Mobile Science Activity Center. Our students will be participating in engaging science activities that support Kentucky Science Standards.
Today our Panthers began their first day of three enjoying the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Mobile Science Activity Center. Today's activity included a tour of the mobile science activity center with a Kentucky agricultural presentation around a specific commodity. It included I-pad interaction for the students , as well as an informative farm tour video.
Our Panther campers were enjoying our Friday field trip to playground at Dewey Dam that we forgot to take pictures. However we do have some pictures from Thursday that we want to make sure and share.
We want to thank our community partner City Bank along with Mrs. Theresa Hall for working with our panther campers on valuable daily life lessons dealing with the importance of savings.
Not only did our campers enjoy the nutritious activity with the Blender Bike but they also enjoyed other engaging activities today.
