Saving Fred Was a Success!!!!

The students discussed and modeled the components of working in a cooperative group.  Their first task was to save Fred the worm.  His boat capsized and he couldn't get to his life jacket.  The kids were to the rescue!  Their only challenge was not being allowed to use their hands to touch Fred, the boat, or the life jacket.  Each group had to use 4 paperclips as their tools to save Fred.  They proved that working together and saving Fred can be smooth sailing!

Let's Investigate

During a mini unit on physical changes of matter, students investigate ways to speed up the melting process of ice.  Salt was a popular choice but did not speed up the process as students predicted.
