New Early Childhood Education teacher, Jamie Shepherd, unveils the wonders of God’s creation through science.

In class, students explore and enjoy hands-on experiments to inspire them to love science. In this new class to ECE, Super Science seeks to expand students’ understanding of science and provide them with a solid foundation.

The goal of Super Science is to be a fun and interesting time that the children will look forward to throughout the year, where they will begin to look at all of God’s creations as intricate and beautiful aspects of life.

Some of the science concepts being taught to preschoolers and pre-kindergartners include:

• Magnets – exhibit items that are attracted and not attracted to magnets, which helps children learn characteristics of magnetic items
• Blow the Man Down – show students how air is real and takes up space, even though it cannot be seen or touched
• Egg in a Bottle – display to students how air pressure works
• Dancing Raisins – demonstrate what carbon dioxide is and what happens when it is created
• Volcano Creations – show how different substances react when added together
• Sink and Float – describe the properties of flotation and absorption
• Swirling Colors – reveal how colors mix together to make new colors, which helps children learn their primary and secondary colors
• Plants and Animals – demonstrate what plants need to grow, plant properties, and animals and their characteristics
