A couple of weeks ago, Ryan’s teacher gave an assignment for each of the students to teach the rest of the class how to make something. We had just done the Scout-o-Rama booth where we made Ooblek, so Ryan told his teacher he would teach the class how to make Ooblek.
We wrote a little script, talking about the properties of liquids and solids, similar to what we did in the Scout-o-Rama booth. We practiced it for a few days so he could memorize it. On the day of his presentation, Rara and I went and helped. Ryan stood in front of the class and gave his presentation, asking his classmates about the properties of liquids and solids, and what happens when you mix liquids together. After a little discussion, we had the kids come to the table and make Ooblek. (Sorry, no pictures of the Ooblek table itself. I was trying too hard to keep the goop under control.)
At the end of Ryan’s presentation, his teacher said (in front of the rest of the class), “That was the best presentation so far! Great job, Ryan!” Of course, my little scientist was beaming!
