Kindergarten Explores Paper!

Over the past month, kindergartners have been investigating eight different types of paper!  They have drawn on the papers with pencil, crayon and marker. They have folded the papers as many times as they can.  And lastly, they have used droppers to put water on the papers.  All the while, we were wondering...what happens?

Some of the papers we are exploring!

It is so hard to draw a circle on this paper!

When you try to write on the paper towel it gets a hole!

You can't see the crayon on the wax paper at all!

 We learned how paper is made from trees.  We remembered that a long time ago, some people used birch bark for paper.  We tried writing on it too!

Crayon works best!

This pile is paper that is hard to write on.

The corrugated cardboard is NOT easy to fold!

Look how I can fold it again!

We can build with paper too!

 

The paper rips when it gets wet!

I can see through the paper towel.

You can push the water around on the wax paper.
