Scientists Hard at Work!

DS and GH studying the shape of salt crystals

EJ recording her observations in her science journal

NB and AD observing salt crystals with the microscope
This week the students have been observing and causing physical changes with matter.  In one experiment we dissolved salt into water and painted with it.  The result was the water evaporated and salt stayed behind, changing its shape in the process.  The Sharks were especially excited to use scientific tools like the magnifying glass and microscope to better observe the physical change.
