I’m sure you have heard a lot about our upcoming trip to the Children’s Museum.  The museum staff sent us a letter asking for our help to figure out which museum exhibit has a leak.  They also sent us a note that has some of the liquid from the leak on it.  During morning meeting the students received Curious Scientific Investigators Journals.  They decided that we needed to observe the note with the stain on it because that is something that scientists do first.  The students used magnifying glasses to look closely at the stain and then they drew and wrote in their journals.  They already have many theories about what the stain is and how to figure out where the leak is happening.  Many friends think that the water has some kind of salt or glue in it because the stain on the note is bumpy.  We also decided that we need to learn more about water before we go on the trip because that will help us solve the mystery!
