This afternoon we had Science. We were using the POE investigation model to find out which substance was Oobleck - Predict, Observe, Explain. Miss Dippie read us Batholomew and the Oobleck and we came up with a description on oobleck from there.
We read through the recipes for Slime and Goo. We predicted what each substance would be like from what was in the ingredients. We thought the Slime would be sticky because it had PVA glue in it, and Jak predicted that the Goo would be thick because it had cornflour in it. Then we had to observe. We made the two substances and wrote down our observations on what they looked like and felt like. We thought the slime felt like melted ice cream. The Goo was hard when you pushed on it quickly and gooey if you pushed slowly. 
Finally we explained which one we thought was Oobleck by using what we had read in the story. We all decided that the Goo was actually Oobleck. We are all excited about our next Science experiment!
