Prekindergarten Science

Students in prekindergarten are learning about construction. We have observed shapes in buildings on campus and learned about the different parts of a house. Students were engineers as they designed buildings and playgrounds. Click here to view more pictures from prekindergarten science. 

Physics in 2nd Grade

Second graders are learning about physics! They learned about Newton's Laws of Motion and participated in various physics labs in the classroom. Students were problem-solvers as they designed ramps for ping pong balls, and mathematicians as they measured the distance a Hot Wheels car traveled. This has been a fun unit filled with asking questions, collaboration, and problem-solving. To view more pictures, visit our second grade science web album.

West K Healthy Habits

At the end of the health unit, students made videos to show what they learned about healthy habits.

Far West K Healthy Habits Videos

Kindergartners just finished a unit about healthy habits. They shared what they learned in the following videos.

Kindergarten Engineers

At the end of our properties of matter unit, kindergarteners learned about engineers. They learned that engineers design and build things to help us. After reading the book Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty, students went to work on their own designs. Some students created garages to store their bicycles and cars, while other designed buildings with elevators. Students enjoyed working with others on engineering projects.

2nd Grade Geologists Measure in the Science Classroom

Second grade geologists are studying the properties of rocks. They measured the length and width of rocks, used pan balances to determine the mass of the rocks, and identified various properties of rocks. It was a great way to integrate math into the science classroom. Click here for more pictures from second grade science.

4th Grade: Animal Adaptations

Fourth grade science students are learning about animal adaptations. They are answering the question what do animals need to survive? Students will compare characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates, and will learn how animals survive in different habitats.

Students observed invertebrates and identified their adaptations.
