Wow! You guys are the GREATEST!! Thanks to you, ExploreZone was a HUGE success! The elementary kids loved it and the high school did too! Everywhere I went, I saw faces with smiles and surprise and awe. You worked so hard, and it paid off. A special thanks to all of you who stayed late Monday setting up and Tuesday cleaning up! I couldn’t have made it without you!! Check out the pictures on flickr – more at the left and on the bottom right of this page or here . You can click on them to see the whole set.
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“Wow, how’d you do that?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh”
“Where can you buy that?”
“Can you eat it?”
“Hit him in the knee!” (elementary kids are brutal!)
And my all time favorite – “Ooh gross! Do it again!”
It was fun but very tiring… don’t even get me started on the oobleck either
I thought explorezone was a huge success, The rocket balloons were a hit.
I had so much fun working Explore Zone! The Bernoulli lab went great – the kids loved it! Especiallly eating the rice kripies! I never want to see oobleck ever again tho… π
I agree!! Explore zone was so super fun!
Olivia – You got it to work! Great job!!
I can’t believe my picture made front page of the physics website. That’s more impressive than the bed of nails group being in the newspaper, in my opinion. Who agrees?
Soo do I still need to bring those cinderblocks by your place? I’d ask you but you skipped school today for knowledge bowl.
Tyler – Did we or did we not already have speaks about this? π
Yeah, it was pretty tiring, but worth it.

Tyler – what i said earlier…
Explorer Zone was so fun! I thought it was funny how kids would try to grab handfuls of rice crispys-as if we couldn’t see! haha
do you still need help organizing your classroom??
Kaele – Oh my, yes! All the ExploreZone and lab supplies are growing exponentially and we’ve got to find a better way to store them! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!
Ms. Skinner explore zone was fun can’t wait til the next one!
Explore Zone made my decision on having kids one day. No.
Awww, Emily, they aren’t born that big! π
Aside from the mess, the oobleck was a huge success!
Jakin – Agreed!
So what ended up happening to all the oobleck?
“I love science” That’s all I heard from one of the second graders, he was so precious!
It was definitly fun, but very tiring!
We had multiple kids at our station ask if they could eat the ice cream! π
Ms. Skinner, explore zone was a lot of fun! But now I know why you only do it every other year ha
Explore Zone was so much fun this year! I can’t wait to do it again in two years!!
It was so much fun! I had a blast!
i like explorezone
Explorezone was so much fun and I think that the kids had as much fun as we did!
Explore Zone was fun, but exhausting. I can’t wait until next time!
Alternating exhibits was a lifesaver. That was a great, fantastic idea. That might be what always happens, but I thought it was still great. haha.
my feet hurt for days after explore zone
Bryant – Amen! Now you know why I don’t wear heels when I teach! π
can we do oobleck again when we are seniors?
i loved Explore Zone!!!!!
My favorite quote was –
Me- Why are they called ball pythons?
Kid – Because they eat people!!
