Science is...
- Learning about everything!

- Asking questions
Then we did another fun challenge that allowed us to do many of the things that scientists do.
- We asked a question: how can I make a boat that floats?
- We planned out an investigation. We drafted a plan with words and pictures.
- We tested our plans. We built our designs and tested them in water.
- We revised our thinking. When something wasn't working with our design, we had to problem solve and try again.
- We worked as a team. We compromised and made decisions together.
- We communicated our results.
- We recorded our results and thought about what some next steps could be someday.
