I Think… Let's Try!

Make a guess, try it, and see what happened.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child makes a guess, tries it, and checks what happened. Wrong guesses are part of science too. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 5

Scientists ask: what will happen? Then they make a guess. I think the ball will bounce!
Next, they try it to find out. Drop the ball!
Last, they look at what happened. Boing! It bounced. The guess was right!
Your turn! Mia guessed the ice would stay hard in the sun. But it melted! Was Mia's guess right? No! And that's okay. Now Mia knows.
Try it with a grown-up! Guess: will a spoon sink or float in a bowl of water? Try it and see!
