Scientists in the School

So much fun in our class today. Students worked together during our Scientists in the School workshop. We participated in a number of experiments and learned a lot about solids, liquids and gas!
We experimented with temperature and learned about how to read a thermometer. 
We talked about the role of salt on ice. We learned about how liquids when mixed with a variety of elements can cause either a solution or a mixture.
We also learned a new scientific word called "Hypothesis". A hypothesis is a scientific guess. When we make a hypothesis we predict what might happen. If we get it right, it's a great thing. But if we get it wrong, it's an even better thing because it means we learn something!

Ask your child about what their favourite part of today was. What did they learn and what do they want to explore more about?

At the end of the workshop, we collaborated with a friend to talk about our learning and share our thinking from the day. We used Padlet to talk about what we learned. Please follow the link to read about our learning today.
