Tuesday, 1/3/17

The day was a whirlwind, but here's a little glimpse of our science lesson!
The students became Oxygen and Hydrogen atoms, forming bonds to become H20.  At first, we were packed tightly together and were very still.  But, as we pretended that the temperature rose, our molecules began to spread out, and everyone started to wiggle!  Once the water started to boil, our molecules were spread throughout the room, and everyone was dancing!  We studied the kinesthetic theory using kinetic learning. Win!

We talked about how matter can change forms due to heat, but the students also saw how a liquid (vinegar) and a solid (baking soda) could combine to form a gas due to a chemical reaction.
