Super Failures!

Scientists here in 1L are working on a developed understanding of sound and it's association with vibration and waves. We did an experiment with tuning forks and water, and another experiment with rice and sound speakers. Students are beginning to ask amazing questions about how and why sound works and have even begun associating waves with sound, can you believe it? I have to say, I was really pumped! Of course, feel free to recreate these experiments at home to keep the inquiry going!

Most importantly, 1L scientists are also working hard to refine experiments based on questions they develop during the experiment process! We have talked about only changing one thing at a time to test different claims. With this process, has come some pretty super scientific failures! Helping students to see failure as a tool and opportunity is a huge part of our new science curriculum. Watch this video with your students at home to continue these conversations.

"Cheers" to a lifetime of brilliant failures!!

Love,
Mrs. L
