Wow, we were so excited when boxes of cookies arrived in our room! Ms. Patin supplied all of first grade with cookies to perform an experiment with. First, The Superheroes had to divide the cookies among the eight first grade teachers. ( Talk about real life math experiences!)
We have been exploring scientific tools, five senses and science safety rules. We put it all to good use during the Cookie Project. The question was how many cookies can you stack in a tower before it falls down! We started by making predictions. Then we got to work.
We split up into cooperative groups and utilized our social skills to decide how we wanted to do the experiment and who had what job. I think our highest tower ended being 29 cookies!!
We had a great time exploring, discussing, and trying different ways to make a tower.
At the end some students decided to turn the cookies into a sculpture!
