Science in Room 10

Right before vacation we wrapped up our first science unit of the year.  We spent several weeks studying Solids and Liquids, engaging in many activities and experiments to learn about their attributes.  Using our senses, we studied concepts such as float/sink, stack/roll, magnetic qualities, hardness, shape, fluid/viscous, and the key characteristics that make solids and liquids similar and different.  Our wrap-up of liquids provided a high-interest chance to mix all of our liquids together and see what more we could discover.  Using glue, water, oil, shampoo and corn syrup, the children worked with partners to explore, get messy and enjoy the process of discovery.  They were, as you might imagine, delighted with the chance to do so!
