Fun with Liquids!

Today, students worked in small groups to explore five "mystery" liquids.  Everyone did a great job using their five senses to describe the liquids according to how they smelled, felt, looked, and moved. A great deal of discussion focused on the fact that many liquids can share some properties but not others.  For example, we compared rubbing alcohol, water, and vinegar.  All three liquids are clear and able to pour quickly and easily, but by using our sense of smell, we can determine that they are all different.

 This group took their time to observing each liquid!
Good job scientists!

 Everyone at this group was hard at work recording their thoughts!

  Julia is really using her sense of smell!

The power of observation!

Hmmm, Astrid thinks the liquid in cup #3 feels pretty sticky!

 Ryan must have noticed something pretty interesting here!

Dylan is quite happy about this investigation!
