October+Science

In science class we are learning to think and act like scientists. We have used our senses to make scientific observations. We have observed physical and chemical changes in states of matter. We have learned the importance of following procedures. We have learned to make predictions and revise our predictions when necessary. We have raised questions based on our observations.


 * Please join a discussion focusing on one of the following.**

1. Describe an investigation you conducted at home as an extension of //Chalk It Up// or //Milky// //Way//. Remember to think like a scientist and use the science language we have been using in class when we write our lab reports.

2. Share your thoughts on the use of starch packing bits as an alternative to Styrofoam.
 * What do you know about Styrofoam?
 * Are starch packing bits a better choice than Styrofoam?
 * Can you think of a situation in which starch packing bits **would not** be a good choice as a packing matieral?
