Science: This was our last week of Solids and
Liquids. We discussed whether we thought toothpaste was a solid,
liquid or both. Then we conducted an experiment with putting
toothpaste in water to observe what happens. During tooth brushing
time, discuss with your child what they believe toothpaste is and
why.
Next week we will begin our study of rocks. The unit title is,
“Pebbles, Sand and Silt.” In preparation of that unit
we created pet rocks and wrote about, what makes a pet rock better
than a real pet. Please come and check out our board.
Thought of the week
