Spread Your Wings!



Almost a month into school and we have been busy, busy, busy! The days are already flying by. We are focused on the Scientific Method for our first unit in Science. This will be our base for the rest of the year, as we enjoy many hands-on activities. We have started with some short, easy, and fun experiments to get the hang of following the steps, creating a hypothesis, and drawing a conclusions.
Don't forget to follow my blog by subscribing with your email.  It will keep you up to date of the happenings in our room.


Today we answered the question: What are the different steps of the scientific method and how do they work together?



How tall are you?  



We are also seeing what conditions will mold grow best. 
Am I really as tall as my "wing span"? 




Standard:  Demonstrates understanding about scientific inquiry.

  4. This experiment was really fun! I never knew you could tell your height by your arm span! I'm 148 cm. tall but 144 cm. is my wing span! I guess I'll my arm span has to catch up to my height.

  5. I still cannot believe that my arm span is the same as my height! I thought my arm span was smaller than my height!

  6. I was a lot taller than i thought.153cm. My arm span was exactly the same as my height so apparently i am a square. It was a fun experiment and my hypothesis was true.

  9. I'm exited to see the bread start to mold.

  10. My favorite experiment so far is the bubble experiment because it was very fun to see what materials would pop the bubbles and what materials wouldn't pop the bubbles. I also cant believe that I am as tall as my wingspan!! 146 cm and 146 cm!

  11. I was really surprised that my arm length was only one centimeter shorter than my height and that you can estimate a persons height if you know their arms length and visa-versa.

  12. The school year so far is actually going quite well, though I'm curious how my arms are longer then my body's height.

  13. I liked this experiment because I could compare my hight and wing span with other people.

  14. I saw this experiment in the 3rd grade hallways once. Their results were very similar to ours. Very cool.

  15. It was so fun to learn my arm span is less than my height. I can't for more experiments in the future!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I can't believe my arm span equals my height! I always thought it was close. But since I did it I have been proven wrong!

    ReplyDelete
  17. It was a very fun experiment!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I thought the experiment was really fun but my hypothesis was wrong. I thought my height would be bigger than my arm span but it was the other way around.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I was surprise to see that my wingspan was so close to the measurement of my height

    ReplyDelete
  20. This experiment was very fun. I was very surprised my arm span was about the size of my height.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I never thought that my arm span was almost as tall as my height. I thought there would be a huge gap between the measurements.

      I was taught that they should be the same length, or close to it. I look forward to blogging with you.

  22. Yesterday I told my Dad about this project and he told me to measure him with our measuring tape so he could try the experiment also. My arm span is 146cm and my height is 145cm!!

  23. I had no idea that my arms were eight centemeters longer than my height

    ReplyDelete
  24. The experiment was awesome two days ago!! I loved seeing what popped the bubbles and what didn't.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I was so blown away with the experiment, I had no idea that you could almost tell someones hight from their arm span. All the experiments this year have been so interesting. I'm excited to see whats next!

    ReplyDelete
  26. This experiment was very fun. I always have had a question about this and now my question is answered.

    ReplyDelete
  27. So far in science I have had a great time and I can't wait for the next experiment!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I was surprised that my arm length was so close to my height. I was also surprised to find out that when I am done growing my height and arm length will be the same.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This was first experiment that I had no idea what was going to happen. My arm span and my height were the same.

    ReplyDelete
  30. This project was very interesting. I had never really thought about my "wingspan" being the same as my arm span. Turns out my arm span is 1 centimeter shorter than my height!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I never knew that once you are fully grown your arms are the same length

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm surprised the touched and wet bread is not moldy yet.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm enjoying the mold experiment and am exited to see what comes of the next two weeks!

  34. It's very cool how your wingspan is about the same length as your height because your wingspan looks so much smaller than your height to me. This experiment was fun, however my favorite experiment was the bubbles one.

    ReplyDelete
  35. A couple years ago I learned that you're arm span is the same as you'r height. I can't believe I still remembered from so long ago.

    ReplyDelete
  36. My arms were about 10 cm. shorter than my height, and I'm 5 ft tall! It's surprising to learn that mostly everyone's wingspan is the same as their height.

  37. Yesterday it was really fun. I liked it a lot.

  38. When I got home I told my mom about the experiment and she said I wasn't telling the truth. When I showed her she couldn't believe it. Then she had to show my dad when he got home.I have had a blast in this month so far.

  39. Its very cool how your wingspan is about the same as your height because to me your wingspan length looks smaller that your height. This experiment was awesome, however my favorite was the bubbles one.

    ReplyDelete
  40. So far in science, we've done a lot of fun experiments, but my personal favorite was the Bubble Break because it was really cool to find out that the needle didn't pop the bubbles, and also that objects coated in bubble solutions don't usually pop them.

    ReplyDelete
  41. The bubble experiment was interesting because i didn't know that when you put any object in a bubble with the bubble soap, the bubble won't pop i also enjoyed doing the bread mold experiment!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. My favorite experiment was bouncing high, I liked bouncing high because it was the most confusing.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I liked the wing span and height experiment. But the bubble break experiment better.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The wingspan experiment was awesome. I loved seeing my height

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yesterday the experiment was very fun and I learned a lot about the relationship between your arm span and height. Ms. Stewart told us that if your arm span and height don't match up then eventually they will grow to be exactly the same. Although this experiment was fun I liked the bubble experiment better.

  46. looks like you are all having fun and learning lots!

  47. My favorite experiment so far was the bubble experiment because it was fun.

    ReplyDelete
  48. This experiment was lots of fun, but bubble break was best of all!

  51. Thank you for sharing your work, results and ideas. Perl told me she was a "square" while we were running the other day. We both laughed! Love hearing about the experiments.

  52. I'm thinking it was Leonardo da Vinci who discovered wing span=height?! Love the pictures of the kids measuring. We have some guesses at home about which bread will mold first!! We love science around here!

    ReplyDelete
  53. This was such a fun experiment! I didn't know that my arm span was almost the same length as my height!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I am happy to hear that you are doing such interesting experiments! We'll be trying some of these at home so keep them coming! Caroline is loving science and is excited for what's to come.

  55. This years science sounds like it is going to be fun! I would be very interested what my daughters height will be when she is fully grown!

    ReplyDelete
  56. What a great experiment and a fun way to learn about the scientific method!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I really like the blog and the experiments are really interesting. Can't wait to see more.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I liked the experiment when you know someones arm span you can predict their approximate height!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. My favorite experiment is going to be the bread but bubble comes in second over all I am having a ton of fun In science

    ReplyDelete
  60. I am looking forward to the results of the bread experiment so that I will know which conditions to avoid in order to keep my bread fresher, longer!

    ReplyDelete
  61. What a great experiment!! I heard all about it from Ava what a fantastic topic to learn about :) !!

  62. Owen is enjoying all of the fun science projects you have been doing in class. His favorite project so far was measuring everyone's arms length to determine if they could use that number to estimate someone's height.
