Scientific Process Project

We did a cool activity with water and learning about the scientific process. We had to ask questions, hypothesize, predict, experiment, analyze and revise.

Each group was charged with the task of transporting as much water as possible from a mason jar to a coke bottle in 3 minutes without moving the jar or the coke bottle. Only one person could move the water, and they were blindfolded. The teams had tin foil, straws,tape, cling wrap and paper towel to work with.

After each trial, the teams were able to revise and improve upon their technique. In the end we averaged the times and discussed the best techniques.  It was wet, wild and crazy!
