Sink or Float

This past Friday, our class participated in a science experiment as part of the school wide science fair. We chose our experiment to be on Sink or Float! We made prediction cards, and learned all about why certain objects would sink and others float.
We conducted our experiment using a piece of aluminum foil, pennies and a sponge. We made our predictions and observed what each object would do. It was lots of fun to see who's guess was right!!
Our science fair experiment will be on display for all of you to see in our classroom on Tuesday night at Open House. Open House will be from 5:30-7pm. We'd love to see all of you there!!!
We still have one more week left in Australia and the deep blue sea and then it's Spring Break. When we get back from spring break we're diving into spring and science! We'll be learning and observing the stages of a butterfly and growing our very own plants. We're even going to become scientists ourselves and keep a science log of what we observe each day!

Don't forget Wednesday, March 25 is our trip to Outback Steakhouse and Friday, March 27 is our Field Day! We have lots of fun and exciting things planned but we all still need to remember our school rules and be on our best behavior!
