Pretty Water

This week, (Mon., Tues. and Wed.), I will have several science activities for pre-k to explore.
We will have magnets, balance scales, magnifying glasses,sea shells, bird’s nests, feathers, stones, crystals, minerals, fossils, geodes, rocks, turtle shells, snake sheds, lizard sheds, plants, roots, various insects, tadpoles, and live roly polies and worms.
Please talk to your child about being gentle and not accidentally putting items in their pockets.
We will also be doing many science experiments and learning how to make an hypothesis.
Students will learn that water can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and that water expands when freezing.
They will also learn about condensation. Please talk with your child about these new concepts.
Please help your child bring a science collection or science experiment to school sometime this week.(Mon., Tues. and Wed.),
They could bring a collection of rocks, leaves, or anything else they want to show.
They could put collections in an egg carton, shoe box, or anything else they can use.
There are so many interesting science experiments for preschoolers on the internet.
Do an experiment at home and send a photo to jjones@prettywater.k12.ok.us and I will show the class on the big screen.
There are many great science shows on PBS, Netflix, Disney Plus, and Amazon.
Below are some fun science links.

Water Freeze Experiment
First we talk about the three states of water liquid, solid, and gas.
Next we take a bottle and fill it to a line drawn with a sharpe.
Then, we put the bottle in the freezer and make an hypothesis.
Will the water expand, contract, or stay the same when frozen.
When we take the frozen bottle out we talk about condensation.
Why is all the water vapor in the air condensing on the bottle?
Next, we watch how the ice melts and returns to water.
This is reversible change.
Try this fun experiment at home.
