Experiment Friday

Two Fridays a month we will be combining both second grade classes and conducting some experiments.  Today ours was called "Absorbing Science."  We discussed the steps to the scientific method and came up with our questions, hypothesis, made observations and then recorded our conclusions.  It was a lot of fun!  We did learn that more absorbant paper towels would have helped.  I am going to try it again at home this weekend with my boys and see if it works better.  Your child may want to try it out as well.  They should know how to do it since we did it together.

The color should make its way up the paper towel. 

The yellow and the blue water meet in the middle cup and turn green.
