Whats new to see at the Orlando-Science-Center.

Singing with your children can not only be a fun experience for the family, but also an educational opportunity for your child.

Shown in a recent study by the University of California, it was found that out of the young 2nd graders who were given singing lessons, 27% scored higher on the various tests than those who did not receive lessons.

As their brains develop, the use of singing allows more parts of the brain to function while continuing to grow.

Orlando-Science-Center. This week in preschool

his week in the 3-5 year old Preschool program at the Orlando Science Center the lucky letter of the week is “O”.

Different from their preK-2nd neighbors who learned about the Otters, this bright class explored new facts of the Killer Whale, which suited for the letter “O”, is also known as the Orca Whale.

Already knowing that the sea can be called the Ocean, these junior scientists discovered the difference between the ocean and a lake.

As the children all scream salt as the primary differences between the two bodies of water, it was funny to watch their expressions when the teacher placed an egg in the salt water.

As the class noticed the floating egg, they all learned the egg will float in salt water because the salt makes the water heavy. Of course they will go on in life to later know it’s called “density”, but the Orlando Science Center’s Preschool Program does such an amazing job at teaching the future leaders that academics will come easy to them.
