Week 4 Day 4 Gravity

After Gratitude Circle, they did a Tower Challenge (building the tallest free-standing tower they could with limited resources). Next we looked at how gravity affects our body and tried some center of gravity challenges like “with feet against the wall, don’t move your feet or bend your knees. Can you pick up an object off the floor right in front of you?” or can you balance two forks on the tip of a toothpick? Then at snack time they practiced their play. After obstacle course, they did 4 stations involving center of gravity  (Suspend, Tower balancing and Marble balancing and Stick the Wing on the Bird). We also talked about “balancing rock art” and challenged them to try it when we are at the creek. After lunch, we went to the creek to play, explore and cool off. Lastly, they played volleyball 4 square or baseball during dismissal.
