Science Experiment

     Today we conducted an experiment during science class. We have been talking about how God created animals with the tools that they need to meet their basic needs. Specifically, we talked about how the hummingbird’s beak is specifically designed to sip nectar from flowers.

     So today, each student formed a hypothesis about which of three tools would be most similar to the hummingbird’s beak. The tools we used were needle-nosed pliers, tweezers, and a dropper. Most of the students decided that the pliers were the most similar in appearance to the hummingbird’s beak.

     Then, we tested their hypothesis by seeing which tool could move the most water in 30 seconds. They found that the dropper worked best for moving liquid. The students really enjoyed putting science into action!
