Sink and Float

Before we began our experiments with the pumpkins, I sent the girls to get the water for the tub. I did this with a purpose in mind. The boys immediately figured out that I was doing what happens in other countries. The girls are sent for the water and the boys stay behind in school. We discussed how this fits in with our planner and our attitudes. They immediately understood that they were learning how to be empathic. When the girls returned (triumphantly)we sat down and had a discussion before beginning the experiments. In the course of the discussion, Grace said, "This has changed my perspective!" Even though they did not have to walk three house for dirty water, they began to understand how difficult it can be.

Well Done Soaring Pilots!
