Another "How To" Write

We have been working on developing our procedural writing skills.  On Wednesday we watched an experiment. Our job was to watch closely, use our observational skills and see if we could remember all the materials that were used and the steps that Mrs. Betts took to complete the experiment.  We worked in partners to see how accurate we were with our directions.

 The experiment looked like this:

Can you see the materials that were used?  (tray, bottle, vinegar, dish soap, food coloring, baking soda, a tissue and a spoon)  If you look closely, you can see blue, bubbling foam coming out of the bottle! What do you think they made? It was very exciting to watch what happened when they mixed different matter together and created a chemical change!  

We worked in partners to write out the materials that were used and the directions on how to make a volcano.  Check back soon to see how accurate we were with our directions!  Hopefully you will be able to follow them and make your own volcano!
