Super Scientists!!!

We are using these last two weeks to become SUPER SCIENTISTS!   Today we kicked off our science fun by creating an acid-base reaction using baking soda and vinegar.  Boy did it cause quiet the stir... and fizzy explosion!  They learned about liquids, solids, and gases.  The materials mixed together were a solid and liquid while they created a gas...carbon dioxide.  We learned we breath oxygen in and carbon dioxide out.  It was a blast!  Here is a glimpse of what we experienced...enjoy! :)  More experiments to come over the next week and a half so stay tuned!

                                        

Here are our super scientists for the day!




Here are our materials

We smelled the materials and came up with a hypothesis for what they were and what would happen

3rd Grade Authors

We had a couple of 3rd graders who came and graciously shared with us about the writing process and read their books they wrote and illustrated. We were all impressed!! The kids are so pumped about being authors themselves in the near future and plan to work really hard on their own writing.
