As part of our introductory unit on SOL 4.1 scientific investigations, the students got to experiment with the distance a marshmallow will go given certain conditions. They had their experiment sheets ready, several size tubes, large marshmallows, and some flour. First they tested the marshmallows close to their mouth in the tube, then farther away. Each time they would lightly roll the marshmallow in flour to give it some extra leverage. They had so much fun measuring, and testing their hypothesis out!
Welcome to our class blog! When you visit you will be able to keep up with all our classroom ideas and special projects throughout the year. This is also a great site to pick up any homework assignments that your child may be missing. Keep checking back with the blog because I will post new materials and new pictures each week of what our wonderful 4th graders are up to.
