The Scientific Process

We are applying the scientific process and using our study of matter to forward our learning.

We have completed two cycles of the scientific process while experimenting with solids, liquids and gases.  Our question in the second cycle is, "What will happen to water if we put it in the freezer?" 

Most students hypothesized that the water (a liquid) would turn to ice (a solid).  

Attached are pictures of my first graders making their observations as part of the second cycle of the scientific process.  They have learned that to complete an excellent observation,  you must use your five senses and your documentations should include size, color, and shape words.  Here are some pictures of my students making their observations and writing about them.
