To close out our unit on matter, second graders will be investigating what happens when you mix solids and liquids together. They'll be considering the properties of the solids and liquids before and after they are mixed in order to optimize a product they will be making...PLAY-DOH!
Students are first comparing high-quality play-doh to low-quality play-doh, recognizing the properties that make them such. Our high-quality play-doh is store bought, while the low-quality play-doh is homemade. They'll be creating tests and gathering data to determine which mixture they design is most like the high-quality play-doh! As engineers, they will be improving the process to make play-doh.
