"I wonder what happens if…" 🧪

For Andrea Scott of East Lyme Public Schools Extended Day Programs and Summer Fun Club, those two words are where the learning starts. Oobleck, slime, soda geysers, and even experiments that don't go as planned all become chances for students to ask questions, test ideas, and try again.

"I love being able to create those 'I wonder…' moments and watch students turn their curiosity into discovery." – Andrea Scott
