Noticing Closely

For science, we have been practicing gathering data and looking closely at the world around us. Today we explored water drops.  We looked closely and thought about whey we saw, what we think is happening and what we wonder about now. 

Here's some photos of our exploration.

First we dripped water onto mini whiteboards.

We noticed that drips fall at different speeds. Some water "sticks" and doesn't fall. 

We looked closely. Then we tried different surfaces. 

We noticed can that the water soaked into cardboard. We learnt a new word: "absorb". 

We raced some raindrops. Some fell quickly. 

We look forward to exploring more.
