Hello Sunshine!

We conducted a popped corn and water experiment today.  One of our friends asked while eating a popped corn snack what would happen if he put his popped corn in water.  We did this experiment to find out.  We were asked what we thought would happen.  Some thought the popped corn would break apart, others though it would blow up.  We were asked if we thought the popped corn would displace the water like the rocks did.  Some of us thought yes and others thought no.  As we did the experiment some of us noticed that the popped corn made a hissing sound.  We learned that the popped corn did not displace the water because it was full of air and the water filled the air space.  We also learned that the hissing sound was made as the air rushed out of the popped corn.

K.M.1 Make direct comparisons of the …capacity…and recognize which object… holds more.

Our Kindergarteners were given four measuring cups/tools. They filled each one of them with their purple water until it reached the one cup line. We discovered that the denominator gave us the clue as to how many cups it would take. They recorded their observations in their journals.
