Sci-PhyCongratulations,

I am so proud of you. You have been working hard all year to help Angelina, Mylo, and Suzi solve their problem. In order to help them, we needed to learn about the world around us. We learned about color, texture, states of matter, changes in matter, and conductors and insulators. We also learned to think like engineers and practiced solving problems.

This is your last assignment for Sci-Phy this year but not the last time you will need to solve a problem. The next time you have a problem, remember to: Ask, Explore, Model, Evaluate, and Explain.

Thank You,Your Sci-Phy Teacher

ExplainDo you think your design worked to keep the ice pop frozen solid? Why or why not?
