Today we are doing Experiment 9, Can Matter Be Invisible? from Sonlight Science Level E. The first thing I do is grab the Discover and Do book and use the handy codes to find which materials to grab from our supply kit and which ones to grab from the rest of the house. From around the house, I only need to grab a drinking cup, spoon, water, scissors a ruler, and colored pencils. These are all easy-to-find things in our house. I can even send my kids to gather them up while I make sure the table is cleared of other materials. • The second step we do is to review the concepts being learned this week. Sonlight does a great job of weaving together multiple texts during the week so we learn in different ways. We reviewed what they learned from How to be Good at Science, Technology and Engineering and also read through the Key Concepts and Introduction in the book. The Introduction ends with a few questions which helps us get curious as we begin our experiment and start to investigate. • As we follow the experiment procedures in our book, we record our predictions and data on our worksheets. I like that there is plenty of space to write which some of my kids need due to their dysgraphia. For this experiment, there are 4 different models we will be looking at as we study the three states of matter. • The question that stumped us in this experiment was, Did the air in a balloon have particles of matter? Quantifying the properties of air can be a challenge for our students since we can’t see or touch it in the same way as marbles or sugar granules. This experiment helped us see it in a concrete way. • After we investigated all 4 Models we were able to have a discussion about why each one worked the way it did. We were able to talk about mass vs weight and if something has weight it has mass. In the last section of each experiment in the book, is the takeaway. In this section we circle back to our initial question and the text helps us summarize what we observed and give us the science words to explain it. • There are also Big Picture connections that help us apply what we learned to things we see around us in everyday life. The Go Further section gives ideas for more experiment options and ways to test the concepts. If you are using these experiments with a wide age range these experiments would be a great way to scale up the activity. • Read the rest of our review: https://insideournormal.com/sonlight-...
