1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
A baker tips flour and water into the same bowl and stirs. What do you think happens to the flour and water when they go in together?
2 - What Happens When We Mix? ~3 mins
The baker mixed flour and water. Today we will mix too. Mixing means stirring two things together. We get to feel what the baker feels. Will our mix run off the spoon, or stay in a lump?
3 - Mix at the Stations ~11 mins
Visit the mixing stations with your group. Take a pot, scoop in some powder, add a little water, and stir your own mix. Feel the mix. Does it run off the spoon, or stay in a lump?
4 - What Did We Notice? ~5 mins
Come back to the carpet. Look at the mixes at the front. Tell us how one looks and feels. Does it pour, or does it stay in a lump?
5 - Make-sense Talk ~3 mins
Look back at our baker. Mixing flour and water changed how they felt. What changed when we mixed at our stations?
