This year I am very excited to be teaching science to first through sixth graders! I have been working this summer to set up Science Lab A to accommodate so many curious and eager science students. Stop by and see our new furniture, discovery center, animal friends and cool new technology!
It has been a busy and exciting first few days in the lab...
This summer, the second graders read Barbara Cooney's book, Miss Rumphius, which is about one woman's quest to live a full life and make the world a more beautiful place by planting lupines for all to enjoy season after season. In science, our students examined false lupine (baptisia) seed pods to see how they could be collected, stored and spread in the future.
The first graders will travel the world this year, across many continents and oceans, as water droplets that are part of our Earth's water cycle. Here are some ways the students appreciated and enjoyed water this summer!
We are excited to have a new 3D printer in the lab and look forward to printing models to represent lots of exciting learning ahead (not to mention just doing some fun tinkering!)
