Science is Popping with Excitement

We've been having some fun around here!  Over the last week we've been learning about the scientific method.  We've been paying close attention to our senses and how scientist make keen observations.  We practiced by doing a lab called "Science is Popping with Excitement!"

 

The first graders got in on the popping excitement too with their 3rd grade science buddies, but they also desgined their own experiment.  They asked the question, "Which car will go farther?"  This allowed them to make observations, pose questions, state a hypothesis, test, retest, and draw conclusions.
