Research Books
Students used library time to pick a book to use for their insect research. They enjoyed writing facts on sticky notes. There was lots of excitement and sharing of fun facts!
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...
