Demo Day!

NOTICE!!!! Weather permitting, we will be outside tomorrow! Baseline tracking box videos are below!

As we continue to explore the difference between observations and inferences, we spent today observing various demonstrations.

We also have our first of many daily updates from one of our students.


Below, are various versions of the demonstrations that we witnessed today in class. Each demonstration had various scientific elements as the cause. It was not our goal to come up with these solutions today, but to work through making inferences based on our current knowledge and our observations.

I would love for families to watch these demonstrations again and begin to help discover the underlying causes behind each.

On that note...I NEED EXPERTS!!! If anyone reading this would like to post an explanation of why each event happened, please add a comment to this post with your explanation or better yet, a link to a video explanation.

Here is a sample of our work today: (This is a YouTube playlist. You should be able to view all videos by scrolling through the list and clicking.)
