5th grade - Science - Matter Properties Experiment - The Scientific Method

Today we have run different experiments in class. Last week we learnt the different properties of matter and we wanted to know which object was harder, more teantious, more elastic,... Therefore, we had to decide how we could check on the objects' properties. After that we had to formulate a hypothesis and then we had to test it. But we had to make sure it was a fair test. The mnemonic "Cows Moo softly" helps us remember how to plan a fair test: Change one thing, Measure something and keep everything else the Same. We had to think hard but we really enjoyed it, and it's great for us, because it helps us become critical thinkers.
