In Science class, we started discussing the Scientific Method. Our first step was to "Ask a Question". So, our question was, "Which solution, vinegar or water, will make the color come off of M&M's faster?" As a class, we gathered predictions and then ventured off into groups to test the hypothesis.
It was amazing to see the process live. In almost all cases, it seemed the water was the winner. In other cases, it wasn't completely evident as to which took the color off more quickly. Funny enough, we had seen in a short Brainpop video that when your results aren't easily identifiable, you would test it again. As much as we would have liked to test again, it was time to wrap things up so we could head to Spanish.
Our next Science Lab will be about Collecting Information; yet another step in the Scientific Method. Until next time!
