May 16, 2012

Today we dove deeper into our study of states of matter.  There was a lot of excitement in the air with the anticipated use of a beaker and hot plate.  Today's focus was observing a solid transform to a liquid.  The students wrote a hypothesis about the time it would take to transform from a solid to a liquid and at what temperature.  Each student recorded their observations on a table.  We recorded in increments of 2 minutes for 8 minutes.

We will be going to the garden on Friday.  Please have for children dress appropriately and apply sunscreen before school.  Our focus will be to clean and prep our garden bed for planting.

Have a great day.
