We read My W Sound Box, worked in our workbooks, and then did lots of experiments and fun with water.
We painted with watercolor paints.
We discovered that salt, sugar, brown sugar, flour, and sprinkles dissolve and that noodles and cereal do not. We also mixed oil and water and then added dish soap to see how they do not mix!
We found out that wax paper, foil, and ziploc bags are not absorbent.
And that socks, sponges, paper towels and cotton balls are absorbent!
We started the celery in colored water experiment, but it will take awhile to see the results. Maybe next week!
For our final experiment, we put a pencil in water and saw how different it looks, like it's bent. They had to draw their hypothesis and then the results.
We did an experiment to find out what dissolves in water and what doesn't. They made their guesses and loved seeing how they mixed.
We also found out what things absorb water and which do not. We colored the water blue to really be able to see it and used a dropper, which they loved taking turns with.
They loved seeing the droplets of water on the wax paper so much that I let them play around with it for awhile.
They loved being little water scientists today!
