Transparency

This photo of A.N. is a nice example of how children explore the concept of transparency. Using see-through containers and storage allows them to experiement with mass and volume in a powerful way. A was deliberately focusing his attention on this job and some of the children repeated his work later with other objects (we also look for them to re-visit explorations in new ways!). We can always use donations of acrylic transparent storage like the one pictured. Unfortunately this container broke later in the week and had to be thrown out.
