About

You may observe a child at the Lab School investigating the many properties and uses of water, for example a child may be learning about the process of water flow, how water is used in nature, waters use in relationship to plants and gardening. You may observe children caring for the garden that they have planted, watering, weeding, or harvesting fruits, vegetables, or sunflower seeds. These experiences help your child to discover meaningful learning processes necessary for investigation, scientific research, and the creation of a scientific attitude for learning.
