week 12

 I really liked the discussion we had at the end of the class where you had us share our findings but also explained in cases where things like tinfoil might not float and explain why that is.

I think this weeks lessons taught me a lot because even the things I was making confident predictions about were not always true so that process of going through the why behind every scientific reaction taught me a lot. 

I think for young children I would have them record their predictions first using a packet to record answers and the do the tests and also record this on paper so they could have somthing they could go back to and reference for future science lessons.
