Excellent! Kieran has loved rolling things down the slide – often cars. We talk about the objects’ weight and how easily the wheels roll. I’ve never introduced the term friction, but I will next time!

Funny, the girls love cars but we haven’t done that yet. Thanks!

This was great! Mikko was enjoying the video, but he most enjoyed feeding the fishes in the sidebar. 🙂 But I think I (re)learned a thing or two.

The fish are a big hit here, too. And I admit I feed them whenever I’m on the site, I feel a bit guilty if they’re neglected 🙂

I’m loving putting the videos in, takes a bit of editing but it’s something new to add.

I love it! Little scientists in action! It’s great when kids are encouraged to experiment with cause and effect

I love how natural it is – that’s such a normal thing for a little kid, but as parents we don’t listen out for it because we don’t expect it. I always try to remember when I catch them being scientists 🙂

the lovely thing about winter is sliding down in stockings – so much faster!

And such lovely static to play with when you get to the bottom! The little one’s hair sticks out everywhere.

Annie and Heidi had lots of fun at the beginning of the school year learning about static electricity on a big covered slide at an indoor playcentre. The girls thought it was fascinating the way their hair stood up when they went down the slide. Annie took it one step further and tried to see if going down the slide faster and more often made more static. Then we came home and played with balloons making our hair stick up. Slides are so cool 😀

oh! I was at a play centre yesterday and had a go on all the slides and I noticed that it was the covered slide that was bursting with electricity!

I also noticed that the blow up slide was not particuarly bouncy and nearly twisted my ankle with a bad landing….

And as for the slide that seems to be an almost 90% drop! Terrified!

Nice! I like it. What an informative post, I adored science in school.

Thanks for all the science action words associated with what we do on playgrounds. 🙂

I love that the science is so evident in their play experiences. The videos are a fab idea:)
