Science - Liquid Classification

Using a Constructivist approach, students classify groups of jars,  (applying the process of scientific inquiry), according to their own choice of groupings.  Student observe texture, smell, evaluate viscosity, consider color, etc. and guess the contents (again, using the scientific inquiry process.)  Students complete a chart and sort and classify all the liquids.This lesson concludes with a discussion about safety of unidentified liquids that may look like safe liquids, (example:  mouthwash and window cleaner.)
Alaska Content Standards:  Science A:1, B:1
