Designers at Work
Agenda:
1) Healthy hunger is tomorrow
2) Treat Day is on Jan. 21
3) We will be testing our insulators on Friday. Please come dressed to be outside for a few minutes to place your insulator and then go back out to get it.
4) Saakokoto is joining us tomorrow
5) Our school Science Fair is in 3 weeks. Parents and families will be invited to come and view the fair in the morning and the afternoon will be spent with our Visiting Judges from different fields of science in our community. This is when the students will get to share their findings with 2 of the judges.
6) We will have one more day of building tomorrow so be sure to bring the insulating materials you have planned for in your blueprint.
Here is a glimpse of our Science at Work - it was a messy process but the questions and conversations were very interesting.
"Will more air in my container make the water freeze?"
"What if I build stilts for my insulator so it can be off the cold ground?"
"Does the temperature my water starts at matter? Can I boil the water first?"
"If we bury the insulator, the snow will act as an insulator too!"
"What happens if we cut open a thermos? Let's use what's inside there. Or inside a Hot Paw!"
"Can we put salt inside the water?"
