LIquid Races


What are Liquids?

This is the question we have been asking too! We have been observing the properties of soilds and now liquids are our main focus this week. We have looked carefully at three particular liquids, corn syrup, dish soap, and water. We used our five sense to make careful observations, but we had one more property in mind. How can we tell how thick a liquid is? How can we look more closely at this property? Why by having the first ever Sunshine Farm Liquid Race!

Our liquids found their mark on a sheet pan and the race was on!

Race Results, First Place: Water, Second Place: Dish Soap, and Third Place: Corn Syrup!

As one Second Grader so wisely put it, "The thinner the liquid, the faster it goes!"
Stay Tuned for the Liquid Races Movie!
