How can I develop my resiliency to grow, learn and contribute to a community?
Science
We put on our scientist hat again today and this time explored the question of: what materials would make a god boat? To start we brainstormed some ideas to start. Than we tested different materials to see what would happen. We saw that some materials sunk like metal and others floated like wood, piece or carpet and plastic. We put in yellow mesh plastic material and it didnt sink or float it stayed in the middle. We still have more materials to test and than our next step will be to start designing a boat now that we have looked at what shapes and materials work. Estimation Station Jar. Each week a student will take home the jar and fill it with one object of their choice. When they bring it back after the weekend we will estimate how many are inside and write down our best guess. Today we practiced by looking at crayons Ms.Chilton had put inside. We had alot of different guesses and put them in order from smallest to biggest. We had 4 very close guesses and one that was the exact amount! We did talk about though that a guess does not have to exactly right but that if we practice we should be able to look, think and talk in order to make a guess that is close! Comments are closed.
