Kindergartners are natural scientists. Right before we were to go outside a child asked if we could feed Rocky Road Milkshake Kindergarten, our class pet (Rocky). But what to feed him?
An experiment was created to test our question, "Which Type of Food Does Rocky Like Best?" We had to think for a minute together to see how we could test this. Soon the kids thought up a repeatable test, put the food close together and see which one he goes to first and/or which one he eats the most of.
The kindergartners had the chance to predict what would happen and graph their thoughts on our quickly made class chart. Without a doubt, carrots won out in every area.
He is such a part of our classroom that recess was shortened, by choice, so we could see what to bring the pig.
