The Last Einstein Class :[

As a treat, we decided to have a laid back, not-so-science-like Einstein Class today (my very last Einstein Class) by watching The Lion King (that movie never gets old and is always a hit with everyone). After last week's busy class working away on our animation wheels, we all just took a step back, relaxed and enjoyed the movie.

I'm really going to miss Einstein classes with the girls!

How to build an animation wheel

One of the best science websites I've come across is http://www.sciencetoymaker.com/. This grade 6 science school teacher comes up with the quirkiest, most amusing science toys you could ever build! The 'animation wheel' is one of the most entertaining projects listed on the website, so today, being the second to last Einstein Club lesson, we built the fantastic wheels ourselves using the guidlines on the website - take a look at how it turned out for us and learn how to create one yourself by clicking the link below.
