TIC and Hands-on Lessons!

One reason that I love the TIC program is that it provides opportunities for hands-on learning! Currently in science we have been discussing what light can do. Our book shows a picture of a child placing his hand in an aquarium filled with water to demonstrate how light can bend or refract so during science we took a walk to the lobby to observe this in our trout aquarium. We also took the opportunity to feed the fish and allow the students to put a finger in the tank while other students watched for refraction. Check out refraction!














This was a lot of fun! The students giggled when the trout jumped up and touched their fingers. The students always enjoy learning more when they can get their hands-involved in the learning process!
