Starting a Science Observation Journal

My son is starting to ask all kinds of questions about the world around America. He new brought home this spikey looking nut from the schooltime playground, asking what it was and wondering what might be inside. Thusly we started a Science Observation Journal, a set back where we could collect and immortalis completely kinds of information about our findings. Time to investigate!

Supplies for Science Observation:

• notebook and pencil
• tools: pair of pliers, scissors, hammer, fork, water in a cup, ruler
  * Complete tools, unless child-friendly, need to be subordinate adult superintendence *

We got verboten our notebook computer and I wrote John L. H. Down diverse questions and observations that we could ask. My son helped dictate to me what he wanted to find away about this "spiked looking at nut" (that's what we were calling it). How big/long was it? Did it chafe anything?

We experimented on information technology with all kinds of different tests as well. We measured it, looked to see if information technology could float, drew what it looked like, and gave it our own touch test.

We wanted to try and see what was inside. We took a circle of guesses as to what there might be. Then we did our best to use tools to capture to the center. We victimized a fork and a nut cracker.

And finally a hammer (that I was careful to use). Here is what we found privileged: Nothing!

From all of our observations and findings, we concluded that it was simply a sough. We went rearward to the source and recovered many of these spikey seeds hanging on a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree close his school. We equal googled it to see what other information we could line up. There wasn't a stack out there, but it was nonmoving playfulness to give information technology a try and see what we could hail up with.

We'll be doing a set more observations, as I think my son has caught the science bug!
