THIS WAS GREAT FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE IT WAS HANDS ON. ALSO, THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS THE KIDS COULD PUT THE ITEMS INTO THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW AT FIRST. THE KIDS UNDERSTOOD IT AND CAUGHT ON WELL. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERINCE FOR ME BECAUSE I LIKE TO SEE THE KIDS LEARNING AND HAVING FUN AT THE SAME TIME!!! IT LET US TO KNOW THAT WE DID OUR JOB AN TAUGHT THEM SOMETHING.

    Last week at work we had the privilege of having guest speakers come in and talk to us. The guest speakers were form the Navy!  They Navy officers talked to all of us about the navy and what they do there. They explained how they rank the officers, what jobs they have done, and options for college while your training to be in the navy. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot of information about the navy that I did not know about.  The navy officers were very nice and they were willing to answer any questions that we had.

     After we were done talking to the people from the navy we separated into our groups and began to work on our learning places projects. Krystal and I are almost finished with ours. We're at Girls Inc. and we're working on colors and angles.  We made a big angle clock and we made activities for them to work on mixing color. All we have to do is finish up on our secondary colors. I hope they enjoy our learning place!

 

 Hi!!! This is Briana from the group City science A. All school semester we have been working on our  investigative project my Group has been investigating on the different type of spaces and how comfortable you feel in the. Our investigative Question is What room do you feel most comfortable in and why?  We also got some information from a group called mytracks wich is a group of teens that look up diffrent information up for you in the library

 this is ashley adding to this blog me and brianna for our group we measured city science room for our investigation on space and next lab we are looking for a room with the same amount of space so we can manipulate one of the spaces to see if the thought of people in the same space with different things change.

Last week we emailed the kids at mytracs and asked them different investigation questions! The question we asked them was if they could figure out how different rooms effect the way you feel and how the comfort level in the room changes. We have been investigating these questions and will have the answers for you in n time!!!!

Today we talked about systems and what they had in common with each other. We dicussed different topics that we felt strongly about such as fighting in school. We also talked about the bad things that could have happened last week as we worked at the main building and the different people that we worked with.

Tra and Briana  Today we did a lab experiment testing the lipids in sunflower seeds, chips, and chocolate chips. Lipids is basically another word for fats. In our experiment we extracted the fats out of each of the foods. The fat in the potaoe chip is mostly on the surface and the fat in the sunflower seed is the seed itself. Next week we're going to do the next experiment so we can figure out how much we fat we extracted from each food.

I really enjoyed working at the YES program. It was alot better than I had expected it to be, We worked with alot of different kids, teens, and supervisors. I had fun with them all. I would love to come back next summer. I have made lots of friends. I especially had fun teaching the little kids new science projects and watching them learn.
