Here are our materials:

peat pellets/pucks

Please ask your child: what did we do first? Hint: water and peat pucks

What did they observe using each of their senses?

What did you see? What happened to the colour, shape and size?

What does the word expand mean?

Why did the pucks stay in this shape?

What did you smell? 

Compare them to a smell that you've smelled before!

What did you feel? 

Did the pucks feel different before you put them in the water? 

What descriptive words can you use to explain your observations?

Questions to ponder....

Did the peat pucks float or sink?
