Step 5: Share ResultsNarrator: Okay, the room is a mess, you've run out of materials, and your kids are itching to move on to something new. But wait! There's one more step--sharing results.
Sharing results helps kids reflect on the activity they just did and allows them to learn from each other. Let's watch the ZOOM cast as they talk about Water on a String.
VIDEO CLIP
Shing Ying: Do you guys want to come over and see ours?
Kortney: Oh, sure.
(Description: Kortney and Mike walk over to Shing Ying and Estuardo's table. There is a cup filled with water and an empty cup on the table. The cups are tied to opposite ends of a two-foot piece of string that connects to the rim of each cup.)
Shing Ying: All right, here's what we did.
Estuardo: We cut a hole on both sides (Description: He gestures to the rims of both cups), and then we put the string through both and then put knots on both sides.
Shing Ying: And then we, like, tilted it up so it was on a diagonal (Description: She lifts the full cup high), and then we slowly, kinda really slowly, poured a cup. And so we thought of, like, adhesion, you know, how it can stick to different molecules, and so this (Description: She points to the string) would adhesive [adhere] to the water (Description: She points to the full cup), so...(Description: She pours water down the string).
Kortney: When you tied the knots, was the string dry or was it wet?
Shing Ying: Well, it was dry at first, but it didn't work as well.
Estuardo: So we wet it.
Shing Ying: So we kind of stuck it in the thing of water.
Narrator: Did you notice how the ZOOM cast asked each other questions about their results? Think about ways you can encourage questions and discussion around the activities you lead.
After you share results, it's time to close your meeting. End by congratulating your kids for being creative thinkers and scientists.
Now that you've reviewed the five steps behind leading Water on a String, print the Learn More handouts for a checklist of ideas and a planner you can use to lead any science activity.
