Change...what do we know about it?
We always start any new inquiry and provocation with our fist ideas, any idea is welcomed.
This is what we came up with:
"If you get a puppy, it turns into a dog"
"You start off at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 20"
"The earth spins, we move"
"People get smarter and get bigger brains"
"Chocolate can change by melting. Ice blocks can melt as well"
We also asked what we thought the difference was between a liquid, solid or gas.
Here are some of our ideas:
Solid - pen, wall, metal, chocolate, us, wood
Liquid - melted chocolate, blood, water, acid
Gas - is like a fog coming from a pot.
We started our first experiment looking at shadows - what are they and how are they formed?
We went outside in the morning sun and drew around our buddies shadow
We thought that our shadows would change as the sun moves across the sky, but we also found out that this is because we are a solid and the suns light cannot pass through us!
In the afternoon we went and traced around our buddies shadow again.
We found out that they were longer as the sun moved further away in the sky and that the shadow were almost exactly a quarter turn after 4 hours.
We predicted that if the sun was still shining in another 4 hours, it would be exactly opposite to where we started.
Unfortunately we won't be at school at that time of the day to test our theory though!
