The 1st grade class is learning about solids, liquids and gases in their science unit. As class let out yesterday, Allison ran out asking to do a "liquid race" at home. This project had Matt written all over it as I tried to juggle spelling tests, making dinner and getting to soccer by 5:00. Matt and Allison set up their experiment while I was at soccer with Taylor. When we got home, she was so proud to show off her results.
The little scientists had already tested several liquids in class, so Allison got creative as she looked through the fridge and pantry. She tested ketchup, mustard, caramel syrup, maple syrup, applesauce and ranch dressing. They poured each item on the top of the cookie sheet and timed how long it would take to run off the other end. And the winner is....... APPLESAUCE!
