We used our eyes, hands, noses and tongues to develop an understanding of the common properties and differences between liquids. The students came well-prepared by their classroom teachers and are showing a great understanding of how liquids fill their containers and behave.
Ask you student to show you how two water droplets become one.
We learned a new word that can be used to describe liquids: viscosity.
Ask your student if they remember what the word means and whether viscosity helped to predict the winner of "The Great Liquid Race"
Measurement is an important theme that will be developed throughout elementary school. Providing your child with opportunities to measure at home when cooking will help them acquire a good practical and academic foundation of volume.
