Today, we reviewed what "Scientists" do! 1. Ask a question, or describe a problem "How does ___ work?" ... "How can I ___?" 2. Make a Hypothesis "I think that ___." 3. Experiment! Make a plan to test your hypothesis... 4. Results "NOW I know ___." I showed the class a roll of Mentos and a bottle of Diet Coke, and asked them to think like scientists. First, we practiced stating our hypotheses like real scientists ("I think that...") as a class. Then, we wrote our predictions down. We went outside for step 3, the experiment! We came back in to write the results. Here are some pictures below. I wasn't able to get a good picture of the explosion, as I was scooting out of the way, but perhaps you could try this experiment at home (or a new experiment) and talk to your child about making a hypothesis first. :)
