Do all liquids mix together? We learned that they don't!
By mixing different materials together, we learned to recognize what dissolves and what reacts.We learned about the properties and interactions of some safe to handle household liquids and solids. We tested a variety of materials to see what happened when things are mixed together: what dissolves, what reacts and what remains unaffected.
Our fantastic fifth graders have show growth in acquiring and applying the following traits:
- curiosity
- confidence in personal ability to learn and develop problem-solving skills
- inventiveness and open-mindedness
- perseverance in the search for understandings and for solutions to problems
- flexibility in considering new ideas
- critical-mindedness in examining evidence and determining what the evidence means
- a willingness to use evidence as the basis for their conclusions and actions
- a willingness to work with others in shared activities and in sharing of experiences
We will continue to explore and work on these traits in the experiments to come, but check out these mad scientists!
