Cooperation is so much fun! This week, the kindergarten students continued to practice cooperating as they work in the STEM Lab. Our discussion led the students to understand that when you work nicely with your friends, it is more fun, and you can create something you couldn't have created on your own. This concept became clear to the students when they used droppers and colorful water. Each student was given a specific color, and could only use that color. They practiced using the dropper for a short time, and then had their colors "cooperate"! Each group listened as I asked for the colors to mix. The class had to take turns adding their colors. It was so hard to wait, but when it was their turn, what a great visual.! Some students knew that new color would be made, and others were in awe as a new color was made before their eyes. The students all did a wonderful job using their tools, taking turns, following directions, and having fun!
