This week we opened our science unit with asking ourselves, what is a scientist? Everyone had some great ideas to add to our anchor chart. One major thing we talked about is that scientists make predictions! This worked perfectly with our reading this week because, we were working on making predictions about the stories we read and listen to.
I took out our 'science' supplies, and we began to make predictions about what me happen. Our supplies consisted of baking soda, vinegar, food coloring, a tray, and droppers. The question I asked was; what will happen if I sprinkle baking soda onto this tray and, then we drop colored vinegar onto the powder?
Our next job was to record our predictions onto our recording sheet. We had talked about how scientists write down everything so that they do not forget what they have tried or predicted.

What might happen?

Then the fun part came, we did our experiment!! Some were surprised by what happened and others were excited that their predictions were correct!

| Wow!! |
 |
| Tiny explosions |
