Jonathan and I examined the results of the experiment we were doing using popcorn kernels, which had been soaking half-submerged in cups of water over the weekend. He was encouraged to pay close attention to changes he observed and document them, offering possible reasons for any differences noted. This experiment was designed to encourage critical thought regarding the focus and objective of scientific procedures. Jonathan correctly observed that the kernels coated with popcorn grew mold on them, whereas the microwaved kernels remained unchanged. We then moved onto his daily science practice book to explore the concept of force. Jonathan independently answered questions pertaining to material that was presented on a graph. Vocabulary words reviewed included 'distance,' or how far an object moves, and 'speed,' or how fast something moves.
