Adding water to each of the earth materials, first graders observed how the properties changed. Every earth material got darker, and they also all got stickier, too! There was a range of colors and stickiness, making students think about how some mixtures would make a better mortar than others.
First graders' next steps will be designing tests to find out which earth material is truly the stickiest and strongest once it dries!
