Multiage Mad Scientists

We had a lot of fun with science this week! We learned the use of a thermometer and how to measure temperature using the Celsius scale. We practiced using graduated cylinders to measure volume.

We also conducted an experiment today! We placed a popsicle outside on a plate (in direct sunlight) and one inside on a plate. We made a hypothesis about which would melt first, then checked on each popsicle in 10 minute intervals. We recorded our findings on our lab sheets by drawing our observations. Popsicle in the sun:

Start

10 Minutes

20 Minutes

30 minutes Popsicle inside:

And of course, we ate a few popsicles while we waited!
