Mad Science Strikes Again!

Dear Families,

During our investigation of Earth Materials, we conducted our first experiment called the “The Settling Test.” We filled each jumbo sized test tube half way with a different earth material. Next our kindergarten scientists used pipettes and filled the other half of the test tube with water. Then, we shook the test tubes for several minutes. Afterwards, we observed to see what happened. I was surprised that many students took the term “settle down” and applied it to this experiment wondering if the earth material would move down to the bottom of the test tube. So far, the sand has settled the most. However, we will observe again tomorrow morning and look for any other changes. Take a look!
