Science Experiments

This year we will learn to be scientist.
Today we did our first science experiment. We looked at the problem and then each decided which hypothesis we thought to be true. Next we each did the experiment and then recorded our observation and conclusion with a drawing.

Today's experiment:

Problem: What happens to raisins when they are dropped in a cup of pop
Hypothesis:   A. They will dissolve
                     B. They will sink and explode
                     C. They will dance up and down
                     D. They will float
Conclusion: They dance up and down as they catch a ride on the bubbles



 
This is a great experiment to try at home - your child can explain why raisins will dance in pop but not other liquids
