Will it Sink or Will it Float?

Today in Science we had a lot of fun.  First we did an experiment to find out which solids would sink in water and which solids would float.  We came up with a lot of good ideas about floating and sinking.  Next Mrs. Watson challenged our groups to make plasticine boats that would float and hold as many marbles as possible.  Team “Science Glory”  won the challenge with a boat that could carry 42 marbles!

As a Matter of Fact

This term we have been studying matter. We have learned about solids, liquids, and gases. Yesterday, we did three fun experiment to learn more about gases. First we blew up a balloon without using our mouths, next we made raisins dance, and finally we tried to blow up a balloon inside a bottle.
