Today with our 5th grade buddies we put our scientist hats on to compare leaves and also to experiment how many pennies it took to sink them. The kindergartners made predictions whether the leave would sink or flat when put in water and then predicted how many pennies it would take to sink it. After they completed their predictions they tested their theories. After they finished experimenting they did leaf rubbings and discussed how they were similar and different. The 5th graders helped them record their answers.
When they were finished they made their own Black Cat Black Cat book which is modeled after Eric Carle's Brown Bear Brown Bear book. We had a lot of fun being scientist and illustrators today! The class photo link offers a few pictures from our meeting.
