    The document summarizes a water absorption experiment conducted with students. The teacher asked students whether a sock or paper towel would absorb water faster before demonstrating the experiment. Most students predicted the sock would absorb faster. During the experiment, the students observed containers with a sock and paper towel submerged in water. The students remained silent and engaged as the materials absorbed the water. The teacher concluded the experiment could be improved by using a white sock to better see the water absorption and limiting student responses for time.

    Today, we did a water experiment with the class during project group. We do not have study group today because of Drama class. I asked the children, Do you think a sock or paper towel would absorb water faster? as the Question of the Day. Next, at project group, we discussed the question and the students opinions. We also clarified what it means to absorb water or another liquid. Then, we conducted the experiment. I placed a stool in the middle of the circle of children, and then I placed two containers of water on the sides of the school. Next, I placed the hanging sock and paper towel contraption into the water containers. Then, the students and I observed and discussed the results. EVALUATE The children seemed engaged and excited to share their thoughts before, during, and after the absorption experiment. Many students used prior knowledge to make their decision. For example, Diza said, One time, I spilled on my counter, and my mom put paper towels on it. The water was gone so fast. Lark said, I think socks because I soaked my socks when I wore Crocs in a puddle. Nine children raised their hand when I asked if they thought the paper towel would absorb water faster. Fifteen children raised their hand when I asked if they thought the sock would absorb water faster. I had hoped the students would define absorb, think critically in their responses, and attentively observe the experiment by being silent and watching the results.

    I think RE students responded to the my excitement for the experiment. I also think they were thoughtful in their responses and reflected on prior knowledge well because I used a bit more wait time than normal, around ten seconds. I encouraged the children to think about a time they have may have used paper towel to absorb water or if they have possibly gotten their socks wet before. After we discussed the question, I whispered to the children that the best observers keep their voices off so their eyes can do their best work. The children were silent, and I only had to physically motion to two students to keep their eyes on the experiment and their voices off. I believe since the two materials absorb the water quickly, the students are able to observe exciting results without much wait time. Next time I do this experiment, I may use a white sock to show the blue water better. It was much easier to see the absorption on the white paper towel than the pink sock. I also may limit the number of students who share their ideas to three who think the sock would absorb faster and three who think the paper towel would absorb water faster for the sake of time. The experiment was a bit rushed.
