I watched the voicethreads of Katie, Trisha, and Heather.

Overall, I think using this science activity in a first grade classroom would be good. It is interactive and includes many different modes,so it helps students to remember what they learn and to enjoy learning it. Also, it allows students to utilize their natural curiosity and to explore.

One downside of using this activity in an elementary classroom is it could get messy! (But there are lots of things much messier than water!!! :)) Also, the kids would have to be prepared beforehand to do this activity without needing the teacher to walk them through the whole thing individually.
