What Happens to Wood When it Gets Wet?

Kindergarten has been discovering what happens to wood when it gets wet. They have made some great observations and predictions!

I can see the lines on the wood.

Look!  The wood sticks together when it's wet!

One wood gets darker and the other gets lighter.

The wood sticks to the table too!

The water sinks into this wood.

I'm trying to get more of the wood to stick together.

Three can stick together!

We discovered that all five wood samples floated.  We made
predictions about on whether the wood will still be floating
by the next science class!  Most students think some will sink
and some will float!
