Future Engineers


"There's a penny in here!" Harrison said while shaking an old phone in the dramatic play center on Monday. So, we set out to explore what exactly was inside that old phone.  Getting it open was the first obstacle.  I only had a hammer and large screwdriver and had to get pretty rough with the old thing.  Inside we found a circuit board, big magnet and a bunch of other things we had no idea what they were.  Today I brought smaller screwdrivers and the students were quite engaged as they continued to dismantle the device.  Hmmm…I wonder how well they will do at putting it back together.
