Woodworking with Dad

Mountain Brook Elementary School kindergarten students recently explored the properties of wood during the wood science unit.

They conducted experiments that showed how wood floats, how to change the shape of wood, and how to make plywood and particle board. They learned how to stain wood and how to use a hammer.

The end of the unit culminated in a woodworking event where the children and their dads (or grandfathers or brothers) built a birdhouse.
