Children will explore what happens when chalk gets wet. | - Observe if children can follow directions. - Observe if children can make and test predictions. - Observe if children can describe results. | - Have children handle a chalk stick and describe how the chalk looks and feels. - Prompt children to notice that the chalk leaves powdery particles on their hands. - Experiment by stroking dry chalk on paper and then dipping it in water and stroke on paper again. - Compare the dry chalk to the moistened chalk on paper. - Next prompt children to dip the chalk in tinted water and describe what happens. (Test predictions) - Repeat the process with other chalk sticks and different colors of tinted water. Dip chalk in two different colors and share the results. - Draw a picture of first three sequential steps of experiment. | - How does the chalk look and feel? - Do you think the chalk marks will be white when you write with the chalk? (after dipping in colored water) - What would happen if you dipped the chalk into two different colors? |
