Seacoast Science Center came to HDC today with their ocean commotion on the go program!
The host Sarah, introduced herself to the children and started the program with a song.
(To the tune of: You are my Sunshine)
She then explained the science centers that the children would get to try out today.
The first center was an ocean clean up sensory bin! The children were lead in a discussion about why it is so important to clean up after themselves when they go to the beach. They used various tools to pick up all the trash in the bin.
The second station was a sea creature sort puzzle. The children talked with the teachers about the various legs and parts of the creatures on the board.
The third station was a water bead sensory bucket complete with ocean animals.
The fourth station was a magnetic fishing game.
The fifth station was a sea star ball toss color game.
The last and most exciting station was the live animal station! There was a sea star, a crab, a sea urchin and mussels. Each child had a chance to touch and observe the animals.
The program ended with a goodbye song.
