Our conversation about the harvest lead us to discussing what you can do with corn after it has been picked which lead us to making cornbread today! One of the ingredients in cornbread is an egg. We found some eggs in our fridge with different expiration dates which provided us with the perfect opportunity for an experiment. We formed a HYPOTHESIS (the older eggs will do something different in the bowl than the fresher eggs), we did an EXPERIMENT (put the eggs in a bowl with water), we GATHERED AND ANALYZED DATA (the older eggs with an expired date floated to the top and the newer eggs sunk to the bottom of the bowl), and came to a CONCLUSION (Fresher eggs sink to the bottom of the bowl - use these!) We'll learn why this happened tomorrow! On a sidenote, the cornbread was a hit!
what a great experience for the all the kids! Eliana was excited to tell us about the cornbread today!
