Science Lessons

Hi all!  Wanted to give a quick update on how hard we are working in Science.  We are working on Investigating and Reasoning.  This can be quite a challenging concept for 1st Graders and they are doing amazing!  Our last investigation was "Who brought more lunches today, Boys or Girls?"  We were all surpised at how many steps we had to go through to reach our answer.  We documented all of our data through writing and drawing in our science journals and on paper.  We have been learning new Science terms such as: investigate, reason, predict, observe, data, etc.   We created a tri-fold board with all of our work samples...I will post a picture for you all to see!!  I encouraged them all to write about what they wanted to investigate next either in the classroom, in the big school building, or outside.  We took a vote on our next investigation.  Ryan's choice won!  He wanted to know which one of our friends can kick the ball the farthest.  I will keep you updated with our further investigations!
