The Big Taste-Test

The most exciting thing we did at school this week was a "taste-test" experiment for Science.  We were examining the properties of various liquids with our eyes and tongues!  There were 6 mystery liquids for students to taste with popsicle sticks.  They later discovered that these were syrup, Coke, pizza sauce, Five-Alive, chocolate sauce and honey.  The expressions on their faces were priceless when they tasted the honey!  Everyone watched as I also poured each mystery liquid into a cup so we could evaluate it's "viscosity"…..new word!

We examined maps and learned about legends and compass roses in S.S./Workshop.  Then we designed maps for Scaredy Squirrel to find his way to a new BFF.  It was lots of fun!

Everyone got to show off their artist talents by painting fall trees.  The art work turned out beautifully and we didn't even make too much of a mess!  Way to go guys.
