FOCUS QUESTION

How can I use properties to find out what this unknown is?

PREDICTION/ HYPOTHESIS

If we add water a change will happen.
If we add water it will dissolve.
We can use our senses to learn about the properties of unknowns. 

PLANNING
First, we put each unknown on the black paper and made observations in our chart.
Next, we put a small spoonful in the COMPARE circle and a spoonful of each unknown in a circle.
Then, we put 6 drops of water 

DATA

	Color	Shape	Texture	Odor	Other
Red	White, sparkly. No color change.	Granules,  different sizes, crystals	Rough, grain	No odor	no marks
Blue	White, shimmery. No color change.	Powdery	Fine, like fine sand	No odor
Yellow	White.No color change.	powdery	gritty	Like vinegar
Green	white. No color change.	powdery	Sticks to our fingers	No odor	Leaves a mark on black paper
Orange	white. No color change.	powdery	Crunchy, powdery	No odor

Then we added water

Add water	Color	Shape	Texture	Odor	Other
Red	clear		sticky	No odor
Blue	clear	dissolved	dissolved	No odor
Yellow	clear	liquid		No odor
Green	white	pasty	Looks like paint	No odor
Orange	white	clumpy	Turned liquid then solid, then powdery	No odor

CLAIMS AND EVIDENCE

We said we would see some changes and we did. We thought water would make the unknowns dissolve and it did for some unknowns, others got clumpy or sticky. We did use our senses to learn about how the unkowns felt, smelled, looked and it's texture.

CONCLUSION/REFLECTION

The water did change the unknowns, but in different ways. The water showed us some property differences of the unknowns.

QUESTIONS
Will it change over time if we let it sit here?
