- Set a Purpose or Ask A Question
- Research
- Hypothesize
- Experiment
- Record and Analyze Data
- Draw A Conclusion
Materials are inexpensive and readily available:
- napkin
- dropper
- penny
- a cup of water to share at the table
I like this activity for so many reasons. It quickly gives students experience with the Scientific Method, it leads to other questions, such as, "Why does the water look like a bubble? or Why does it take so long for the water to spill off the penny?", it gives them experience using equipment, and because they like it! Happy Science!
