Today at Girls Inc.

Learning Places
Today at Girls inc. we started out with an activity that shows if you are colorblind or not. My girl saw all the numbers which mean that she passed the test and is not colorblind. I think that activity was not really a good one because to fully understand why colorblind people cannot see those numbers it would be too difficult for them. After that we did an activity where you cut out a circle and color both sides. We were originaly suppose to draw a cloud on one side and a lightning bolt on the other side. But my girl didnt want to do that so i let her draw what she wanted. After you drew it on the circle we tied string on opposite sides of the circle. Then we winded up the circle and let it spin. What was suppose to happen is that the 2 sides will look like they are both on the same picture. It worked sometimes if you spinned it fast enough.

Ariel, Good work today. Sometimes you've just got to let the children do what they want to, and if you can find a way for it to be something that still works with the investigation, then even better. It's a pretty cool action shot you chose too. Keep working hard, and we'll have a good end to the summer.
