Science Experiment - Oobleck!

We had a great time doing our Science Experiment!  This week we made Oobleck in honor of our States of Matter Science Unit and our Dr. Seuss Author Study.  The students did a wonderful job creating a hypothesis about what they thought Oobleck would look and feel like.  They explored their Oobleck and then wrote their observations in their Oobleck Journals.  The students also drew pictures and came up with adjectives to describe their Oobleck.  It was so much fun!  We can't wait to make Slime next week and compare the similarities and differences between the two!    

Maple Sugaring Field Trip at Lilac Ridge Farm!

As part of our States of Matter Science Unit, we went on a Field Trip to Lilac Ridge Farm to learn about the maple sugaring process.  We had such a wonderful time at the farm and would like to thank the following people from Lilac Ridge for making our field trip such a great success:  Farmer Amanda, Farmer Maive, Grandma Farmer, and Grandpa Farmer.  Of course we also need to thank Maggie the dog for being such a sweetheart to all of us as well!  Our Chaperones were also fantastic and we would like to thank the following people for coming with us:  Tabby, Anne, Allegra, Dan, Bob, Wes, Mary, and Mrs. Palmeri.  We had such a fun time with all of you and loved learning about how Maple Sugaring goes through all three phases of matter - solid, liquid, and gas!  Please enjoy the pictures from the trip and don't forget to ask your child all about it! 

We can't wait to have more of the delicious maple syrup when we do our Pancake Science Experiment next week!
