Exploring Our Fluid Earth

This activity was great because the students had to feel like they were wet with imagining to initiate the activity and how the properties of water are discovered by predicting and using waterdrops on coins. The students were fully engrossed so we modified the process to include me helping them fill the petri dishes and using the capillary tubes as a demo rather than individual projects for the sake of time. One area of frustration was teaching the five I's while still learning the meanings. It helped for me to have them written on the board and then refer to them over and over.
