Every evening at tea time, we ask the kids which zones they were in at school. The children all start in yellow zone, and they can move up into green or silver, or down into red or blue. Sometimes the whole class moves zones.
Today they both proudly reported they had moved up individually because they had known something no one else in class did. Humuhumu (Year 4) said her teacher had asked what atoms were made of. She answered that they were protons, neutrons and electrons. Keiki's teacher (Year 2) asked him for a science fact. He told her that two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom made a water molecule.
Major credit for knowledge absorption goes to a combination of library books, Storybots episodes, Toca Elements, and Minecraft. Minor credit goes to two nerd parents.
