My lovelies experimented with water last week.
They were exploring the difference between water as a solid and water as
a liquid and how water changes. First, we read nonfiction texts about water. Then, the class worked together to organize
the information learned from the texts into a chart.
After the chart, my Fab Firsties participated in different learning centers. During one center, the
students made water sensory bottles. The
students had to describe how different objects moved through the water.
The next center
involved water as a solid, AKA ice! The students tried to free various objects
that were frozen in different sized ice blocks.
(Sorry for the blurry photo! They would not stop hammering! lol )
Finally, the
students told math number stories using water bags. The water bags were sandwich size ziplock
bags filled with water. There was a
black line drawn down the middle and small cubes inside. The students told number stories using the cubes.
(here is a link to the bags!)
We had so much fun and learned A LOT about water!
