100 DROPS OF WATER: Students in Mrs. Kuzel's 1st Grade HB Class worked on an activity today involving 100 Drops of Water! Each table was given an empty cup and another equal in size but filled with water. Students were instructed to take turns with their partners, squeezing out 5 drops of water using the eye dropper. They were to continue doing this until they had 20 groups of 5 tallies, adding up to 100 drops of water. (Currently they are working on a measurement unit making tally's, bar graphs, and pictographs). Then they drew the actual amount of water in the other cup on their paper so they could compare the amounts. Finally, they answered the question below on their paper as to if their prediction was more, less, or equal to the actual amount they squeezed out.
