We started our science unit, "What is a Scientist?" and learned the different things that scientists do. We are focusing on the concepts of observing, recording and hypothesizing. We also learned that scientists make LOTS of mistakes. Did you know that chocolate chip cookies, raisins, velcro and post-it notes were all mistakes? We set up an experiment in the classroom to see what will make a grape turn to a raisin the fastest. The different conditions we came up with were placing grapes in a sunny window, the shade, in water, paint and soap. We will be observing and recording the changes that take place over the next few weeks.
