Flamingos use mud to build their nests. Another bird uses its own saliva! Why do birds pick some nest materials and not others? Find out by exploring the properties of matter. Investigate how heating and cooling affect butter, chocolate, plastic, and glass. Test chalk, crayon, marker, and pencil to see which works best on different surfaces. Use what you learned about materials to build a rain shelter.
In the Spotlight: How can severe weather affect a city? Explore the Galveston, Texas, hurricane of 1900. Collect and analyze weather data to understand how people today predict and prepare for severe weather events. Along the way, ask yourself, How does my new knowledge help me understand the world?
