Welcome back! We had a great first day of class. We reviewed the scientific method with the gummy bear lab. We conducted 2 experiments. The first experiment was whether or not gummy bears sink or swim when dropped into a glass of water. The predicitions/hypothesis were mixed but the results were clear. The second experiment was to see what happens to a gummy bear's volume if soaked in water overnight (grow or shrink?).
Next week, we will wrap up the lab and begin the next unit on cells.
Science is awesome.
