Mysterious M & M's

Over the past week the students have explored what it is like to think like a scientist. They were handed an M&M and asked to describe it, observe it, split in half and describe, observe it in a variety of different water temperatures, and observe different colors and how they reacted to the water. They were introduced to the Scientific Method and several terms including independent variable and dependent variable. We will be starting to explore the water cycle next week.
