-light
-staticky
-is made up of little balls
-the little balls have air between them when altogether that can't escape
Plastic is:
-sealed together
-hard
-thin
-air inside gets trapped and hot
We used these observations from our playful inquiry to develop theories. We then were asked the question: Will the same material (styrofoam) keep hot things hot? Will plastic be the worst insulator to keep hot things hot?
We tested this out by eliminated some insulators from our original list that we felt wouldn't work. Above you can see the insulators we felt would possibly would insulate the hot water the best.
Tomorrow we will find out the results!
3 Things We Learned Today:
1. "In Writer's Workshop we learned that there is Triple Scoop words for other words like 'said', 'mad', 'happy' and 'cold." S.M.
2. "In Science we learned why styrofoam is good for keeping cold, cold because of the air." S.C. and S.M.
3. "In Gym I learned how to play badminton." O.F.
Reminders:
1. Green Science Journals due tomorrow.
2. Voiter's Flats field trip forms due tomorrow.
3. Spring Gala is on Thursday, April 25th. Time and details to come soon.
4. We are going on our community walk to the Andrew Sibbald bridge (Carburn Park area) tomorrow afternoon. Please dress accordingly.
