Who knew wood was so interesting? Kindergarteners do! We have been looking at the properties of wood samples and describing what we see. Some of the wood pieces were hard (linden) and others were soft (pine); some were rough (plywood and particle board) while others were smooth (redwood, pine and linden). We noticed the different colors of the wood and we all agreed that the redwood didn't smell very good!
 |
| How long is the wood sample? |
 |
| The wood is smooth. |
 |
| Look! |
 |
| I'm not sure how it smells. |
 |
| Tada! |
 |
| Sometimes you just need to build! |
 |
| This is such a tall tower! |
Next we put water on the wood to see what happens. We had some big surprises!
 |
| The redwood gets darker when it's wet. |
 |
| Look! The wood sticks together when it gets wet! |
 |
| Some of the wood looks lighter. |
 |
| At first the water looks like bubbles. |
 |
| Water, water everywhere! |
We made predictions about whether the wood samples would sink or float.....and they all floated!
