The fifth graders had a great time, and learned a great deal, identifying macroinvertabrates collected from the pond behind our school. The purpose of the lesson was to collect and identify macroinvertabrates to analyze the quality of the water they came from. The students were very surprised at the types... Continue reading

I must say, although I truly enjoy teaching science, biology is my favorite. Creating ecosystems with the 4th graders was definitely one of the most memorable lessons of the year. Each group of children constructed their own ecosystem out of two liter soda bottles. Using gravel, aquatic plants, fish, snails,... Continue reading

What a fun week the third graders had exploring with magnets and heat. My goal was to have each child reading a thermometer bythe end of the week, and I think we pretty much accomplished it! The children enjoyed rotating through stations and experimenting with various concepts. Enjoy the pictures!... Continue reading

What a great first week of science instruction for 2013! The first graders explored topics of shadows, light and plants. We started our week learning about light, sources of light, and why light is so important to us. The children also explored shadows, and how the shape and direction of... Continue reading

Hello! I apologize for the delay in sharing these pictures. With the business that was the holiday season, and the organization of the science fair, I simply forgot to upload and share these. I visited the kindergarten classes the week before the holiday break. Our topic was day and night... Continue reading

Well, if anything can be said about first grade this week, it was definitely NOT quiet! The children were busy making lots of noise while they learned about sound. They started the week by learning that sound is an energy, and that energy is the ability to push or pull... Continue reading

This was an exciting second round with the 4th graders! We focused on forces, motion, and simple machines. The students learned about inertia by moving objects of different masses through a maze and up a ramp using only air. It did not take them long to figure out that the... Continue reading

What a fun, busy week with the kindergarten classes. The children spent their science time this week exploring concepts of gravity. The children learned that gravity is a force (ask your kindergarner if they can remember 4 important words about gravity), they had the opportunity to make predictions, and they... Continue reading

What a busy week with the 5th graders! This week the students explored physical and chemical changes by making 3 different formulas of Glubber. Glubber is made by mixing varying amounts of glue, water, and a saturated solution of Borax and water. During the experiments, the children were exposed to... Continue reading

This week the second grade students studied simple concepts of physics - force and motion. Students began the week with an introduction to some "physics vocabulary" (force, motion, inertia, gravity, and friction), and used playdoh to demonstrate that force and motion can change an object. Our second activity included a... Continue reading
