Exploring Surprising Properties

Recently our class explored the physical properties of a plastic bag. The students made predictions as to what would happen if a pencil was poked through a plastic bag half filled with water. The students were amazed! We discussed how the bag changed after the pencil was poked through it!  We had fun with our observations and the end results!

* My favorite part: I had several students come back to school the next day and tell me that they tried the lab at home! I love when learning at school spills over into excitement at home!
