Scientific Method

This week we started studying the Scientific Method.  For our first experiment we wanted to see what would happen if we poked a pencil through a Ziploc bag filled with water.  As "Scientist" we took our five steps of: asking a question (What will happen if...?), making a hypothesis (I predict that...), making a plan and listing materials, writing our observation, and last but not least our conclusion (why it happened).  

You can try this experiment at home with a sharp pencil and a Ziploc bag.  Have fun!
