The Science of a Sandwich

Today Miss Sarah had a weird case of amnesia, and completely forgot how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The Ravens class helped her out by writing step by step instructions. This turned out to be much harder than we anticipated!
There was peanut butter everywhere! 

Afterwards, we talked about how scientists have to be really careful when they write up their findings, so that someone else can replicate their work.
We decided that scientific procedures need to be:

  • Exact
  • Have lots of steps
  • Be thoughtful
  • You can't assume someone knows how to do your experiment
  • Have someone else check your steps
    • This leads us to our NIFTY SCIENCE WORD/PHRASE OF THE DAY:
    • PEER REVIEW!
Do you have a favorite science word?
