Sailing into Science

My girls received 2 wooden sailboats for Christmas which they have been sailing in our large whirlpool tub. I noticed a creek that formed at the end of our street from all the rain this winter. I suggested we take a test run on a warm day this week. What a blast!  We walked down and I sat on the bank and enjoyed an hour of active play, imagination and science exploration!  It is what 1st grade science should be!
Of course, L & B were soaked and shoes were black with mud and slime, I smiled and tossed the clothes in the wash.
