Absorb & Repel

Today we explored how some materials absorb water and some repel water.  We read Robert Munch's  book - Mud Puddle, to begin.  This led to a discussion and an examination of clothing we wear to splash in puddles in the spring. Next, each student chose 5 pieces of "beautiful stuff" to test, and got water and an eye dropper. Boy, did we learn a lot!
