Asking questions is a very important part of thinking like a scientist and many scientific investigations begin with a question. As part of their ‘Nappy Challenge,’ the children have been exploring some scientific questions and how they could answer these.
- ‘Why… ?’
- ‘How… ?’
- ‘When… ?’
- ‘What….?’
- ‘Which….?’
- ‘Can you explain…?’
Wow, the liquid is soaking in!
I can’t believe how much liquid a nappy can absorb!
My prediction was quite accurate.
You can see the liquid being absorbed.
The more liquid we poured, the heavier the nappy became.
As we poured 600mls, we observed how the liquid was beginning to collect on the surface of the nappy. This would irritate a baby’s delicate skin.
Discuss this with your child. Can they explain the answer to the scientific question? What did they find out? Were they surprised by the result?
