Today in Science, Mrs. Smedley gave us the first experiment of the year. The experiment was to see if rice would expand enough to choke a bird if the rice was swallowed by a bird. We had to fill a container with rice and measure the weight. Then we would add warm water and wait for five minutes. Then we would pour the water out and measure the rice again making sure all the rice we put was still there. We found out that it gained 5 grams but it wasn't enough to choke a bird. We wrote down the conclusion. We also tested out bird seeds and brown rice. It all gained about 5 grams. This experiment was pretty fun and I hope we do more in the future.
