Each year all students present a science experiment or research study at our Science Celebration. While the older children do most of their work at home, the youngest students work on their projects at school. This year children shared what they had learned from a unit where we studied Heat. Working with one or two partners, children either shared what they learned when they designed and built a container to keep a cube from melting. Or they shared an experiment where they tested how lining cups with different materials effected how quickly hot water cooled off, By presenting their Keep it Warm and Keep a Cube experiments children were introduced to the scientific method as they shared their hypothesis, described their procedure, showed their results using a graph and came to a conclusion. Finally they considered what would they would do next time to learn more about heat.
