Science Concepts to Know
§ If you do an experiment and add drops
of liquid soap to three jars of water and shake the jars you can conclude that
the jar with the most soap drops has the most bubbles.
§ You can also conclude that bubbles
will form from shaking the water and soap jar.
§ A data table is used to record
numbers.
§ A student can use balls of different
