Prediction
I think the drop of water will be absorbed into the glass of water.
I think the water will bounce off the rocks and gather at the bottom of the cup. I think the water will slide down the plastic and into the cup. I think the water will be absorbed into the blades of grass. I think the water will bounce off the leaves and slide down. |
Actual
The water made ripples as it was absorbed into the glass of water.
Some of the water was absorbed into holes in the rocks and some bounced off the rocks. The drops of water just bounced of the plastic and slid down it. The water bounced off of the grass and slid down into the bottom of the cup. The water slid down the leaves and dripped into the bottom of the glass. |
Reflection
I didn't think about how the water would make ripples, but I was half correct.
Again, I was half correct with my prediction, but I didn't know about the small holes in the rocks. My prediction was correct because the plastic repelled the water. My prediction was wrong because the water was not absorbed by the blades of grass. I was correct because the water just slid down the leaves and into the cup. |
