We have been making predicitions everyday this week about what they thought the sponge would grow into. The first day we put out a black sponge and the choices on the graph were "a pumpkin" or "a spider." When the children put their names under their predicitions on the graph, we had about half of the names on the pumpkin side and and half on the spider side.
We later discussed why some children choose the spider and some of the children suggested that it was because of the colour. We continued doing this for the rest of the week with different sponges... a pumpkin and a ghost. We tried to apply the colour clue in making our predictions for a few more days and the children became better at making their prediction.
