In the first session we got into groups according to our learning style by giving us a few tests and we would go to a certain space in the room and we did a few puzzles and games along the way.

We have started to do our science this is my science. I am doing my science experiment with Phoebe. Science Question: How does the ratio of Gelatin to the other ingredients affect the marshmallow ? Background Research When you add the gelatin to hot water the powder dissolves and you break the bonds that holds the proteins together. When the gelatin cools down the gelatin powder forms new bonds in the water.      Hypothesis The increase of gelatin the stiffer the marshmallow and the decrease of gelatin the crumblier and stickier the marshmallow will be. My next step for science is writing the method and materials. Have you ever done a science experiment?
