Water on a Slope-Investigation 1

Today we tested water drops on slopes. We also compared the speed of different sizes of beads on the slope! We tested the speeds of large and small beads and the big beads went faster. When you drop drops on top of each other they went faster. We used a cafeteria lunch tray with wax paper taped on. We got two text books. We had droppers and a small cup of water. First we dropped drops on top of each other. Second we dropped drops from different heights on the slope. Then we compared speeds of the different sizes of beads on the slope. Finally we found out if one bead can chase and catch another- and they can! By Oliva Lambert, Oliva Warren, Anthony Soscia, Hailey D, Matthew Gane.

Looking at Water- Investigation 1

We tested water on surfaces! We tested water on wax paper, paper towels, and white paper. Do you know what happened on the wax paper? The answer is : You can move it around with your dropper! Do you know what happened to the paper towel? The answer is : It soaked it up ! Do you know what happened to the white paper? The answer is: it shows up clearly!

Trivia Questions:
1. How much of the earth is covered in water?
2. What are the 3 different forms of water?
3. True or False: Do all living things need water?

Try to figure out the answers!

From Ms. Palladino and Mrs. Pot:
We discussed two properties today in science that we observed yesterday...what were they?
