We have some serious little scientists in our class.
Think about the Scientific Method.
- Ask a question.
- Do research.
- Make a hypothesis.
- Test hypothesis by doing an experiment.
- Discuss data and make a conclusion.
- Communicate your results.
We asked our class what would happen if we mixed up two materials. Would it make something liquid? Would it make something soft, like play dough (they are very familiar with mixing ingredients to make play dough)? After some discussion, the children decided that it would "make something". This was our hypothesis.
We put on our super-cool lab coats (SCIENTISTS wear these) and set up our experiment. We put a heart-shaped cookie cutter on our trays to define our area. We scooped baking soda into the heart.
We added some red food coloring and glitter to make it really fabulous!
We used basters to drip vinegar onto our concoctions, and......
Look what happened! It fizzed and exploded all over our trays. Super fun!
At gardening this week, we learned about what happens to plants when it snows or gets cold outside. Ms. Mel read us a story about it.
We made snow in the gazebo with baking soda and shaving cream and added plants to see what they would look like in the snow.
Ms. Nadeska picked us all Bolivian Sunflowers from our tree to give to our moms. Aren't they gorgeous?
And they smell like honey....
