Exploration of Liquids

Today we measured the same amount of liquid into four different shaped containers.

We found out that the same amount of liquid looks very different in different shaped containers.

Then the PBJ Robot came to visit (AKA: Dr. Charlie)

He could only do what he was told to do.

Our goal was to tell him step by step how to make a jam and honey sandwich.

See video at the bottom of this post for some entertaining clips of our experience.

Earlier in the week we started exploring the properties of liquids.

We had seven vials of different liquids.

Our job was to observe how each was different.

We noticed some liquids would move differently.

Some would mix with air and bubble up.

Some were thick or viscous.

Some were easy to see through.
We wanted to see if some liquids would roll faster than others so we set up a ramp to test them.
Here FA and KC are testing their liquids.
We know that they had to be released at the same time.
