Liquids!

Students took some time on Thursday to explore liquids in bottles. The focus was to make observations about different liquids--not to figure out what the liquids were. Students had many different approaches to their exploration (some sillier than others). :-)

These two were shaking the bottles to see what happened.

These girls noticed that some bottles were harder to roll than others. When we went back to discuss the properties of liquids today, students learned the property that made this true. Viscous (thick) liquids make the bottle harder to roll.
