The 5 Senses

Today we continued our discussion of the 5 senses in science and began recording our time in our science journals. We had so much fun conducting our hearing experiment. We listened quietly to 8 different boxes containing different items and came up with our own ideas of what the boxes contained using only our sense of hearing. Then we recorded our thoughts on a table in our journal. It was so interesting to hear all of the students' guesses. They are SO imaginative and creative! And they LOVE science! :) There was one box everyone was sure only contained air! What a surprise when they saw that it actually contained cotton balls!
