Field Trip: The Problem
We would love to take our 2nd grade scientists on a field trip to the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, but there's one problem: If we go on a full-day field trip, we will miss hot lunch at school.
Before he lets us go on the field trip, the principal wants to make sure that each 2nd grader has a plan to pack an appropriate lunch.
Your task is to use what you learn about the structure and properties of matter to plan an appropriate sack lunch for the field trip. An "appropriate" sack lunch means that you have thought about the answers to these questions:
After completing the individual and group activities, you will use what you have learned about the properties and structures of matter in order to make a poster for the principal that proposes an appropriate sack lunch that you would bring on the field trip!
If the principal approves all of our lunches, then we will be able to go to the Field Museum!

- What is the best sack I can use to pack my lunch? Think about: Can it get wet? What material should it be made out of? Should it be heavy? Should it be big? Should I pack glass?
- What food should I pack? Think about: What does the food look like and taste like? Will the food fit inside the lunch bag? How can I describe the food?
- What should I pack to drink? Think about: Do I have to worry about my food or lunch sack getting wet? Will my drink explode if it shakes around all day?
