A Day Filled with Science!
Our day was filled with science today in preparation for our field trip.
During morning meeting, we tested our hypotheses from yesterday about the different liquids in the jar.
A few students decided we should try mixing salt, water, and glue and then put it on paper to see how it dries. They want to compare our papers to the note we got to see if we can learn any more about what is in the leak.
We had another science meeting where we worked on reading thermometers accurately. The scientists discovered that thermometers are similar to number lines and you skip count by 2 to figure out the exact temperature.
