Science Experimenting

Thank you so much to parents and students
who helped bring in materials for 
our Science experiment on Wednesday!

We were evaluating the suitability of different materials for 
containing water.
Each group was given a styrofoam cup with a hole.
Each group came up with materials they wanted to test to try to contain the water.
They followed the Scientific Method to test by beginning 
with a hypothesis, performing a fair test, observations and conclusion.
Well done Scientists of Room 3!

Oobleck and Slime - Liquid or Solid???

Today was such exciting afternoon! After a previous discussion on the characteristics of  solids, liquids and gases, some students were wanting to know if slime would be a solid  or a liquid. We decided we wanted to explore this further. One student was so helpful in bringing in 3 containers of slime for us to explore! Thank you to this student! Ms. McCullough decided to add in Oobleck to the experiment as well. We described both the solid and liquid characteristics of slime and oobleck then wrote a conclusion on whether it should be classified as a solid, liquid or both and explain why. Through some research online, Ms. McCullough found out this information online: What Is Oobleck? Oobleck isn’t a liquid or a solid, it’s a "non-Newtonian fluid". At times, it may seem like a solid or a liquid but it acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Making oobleck is a great science experiment to show how changes in  pressure  can change the...

Students are coming home with a labelling of caterpillars and butterfly body parts.  Students should be able to explain how the body parts help in their lives. They are also bringing hone some sheets we did while experimenting  In our “Exploring Liquids” student.
