Summer and Winter Station

Do you know why it is warmer in the summer than in the winter where you live? The Earth travels around the sun once every year and repeats the cycles of the seasons. Our students used the Light Probe to see how differently sunlight shines on the Earth in each season.

KidPix Pictographs Station

Everyday in Ms. Martin's kindergarten class, they complete a different graphing activity. Ms. Martin thinks its important for her students to experience different types of data visualization.
