Balloons



With this experiment we had to do a lot of inquiry. We had to constantly ask our selves " What is lighter than this?" or "What will make this float in the air?" We had to explore all the materials that we available to us. By doing this , we were able to dive deeper in our thinking . We had to constantly test the project to see if it would work and when it did, we continued to test it until we knew it would work. I enjoyed working with Haven because she kept making changes that helped. I didn't even think about breaking items in half, which in the end was the way we had to go. This project allowed us to explore inquiry in a constructivist way by forcing us to continuously ask questions and test the experiment.
