Today's science class was exciting as we worked through one of first labs. This lab helped the students think like a scientist by following a process that involved making predictions, recording data, and making conclusions. The students have been studying earthquakes. As a class, we tested the strength of a fettuccine noodle by seeing how many pennies we could put in the cup hanging from the suspended noodle. Our lab showed how pressure builds up and then snaps suddenly similar to an earthquake. The students were surprised by how strong the noodle really was.
