Quarter+1+Responding+with+wonderment+and+awe



Oobleck experiment, was exciting, more because of its fun qualities but it still had some useful learning qualities. I believe that in the beginning when we were at consent on experimenting with oobleck we all thought about the hypothesis for probably a few seconds and gave up. We were negative about it, bored at the unexciting parts of the experiments which was thinking...And eventually we did come up with an idea that failed which was replaced by another testable idea. When we actually started to make oobleck, we all got engaged, playing with the non-newtonian fluid seeing what cool things it can do and how it feels. This engagement got us going with our experiment. We communicated a lot more effectively when it came to the "boring bits" such as calculating the concentration of one sample and drawing conclusions on whether the density of the oobleck effected the rate at which the oobleck filled up a petri dish. Though most of the time we were playing with the oobleck and making slow progress, but it was indeed responding with wonderment and awe for all of the group members.
