Scientists at work

Today we continued to use our investigative skills in science.  We looked more closely at solids.  We used our observational skills and a magnifying glass to look at two cookies.  We noted many of its properties!  Some of the words we came up with to describe the cookies were:  thin, bumpy, light brown, crumbly, dark brown (chocolate chips), sweet tasting . . .. After we broke the cookie in half we realized many of the properties were still the same!  A solid keeps it shape unless you do something to it (like break it!).  Then we used the app Skitch to represent our knowledge and thinking. After all our hard work we got to eat our cookie!!!  Mmmmm.... it was good!




Do you use any scientific skills in your job?

  1. We want to try that science too. We like how you labeled your pictures. Ms. Lirenman showed us Skitch back in the fall but we haven't used it since then. Now we're curious about using it again. From Kaleb on behalf of Division 18
