New Kindergarten Unit: Properties of Matter

After wrapping up our unit about the 5 senses and how we observe our world, we started a new unit about properties of matter. Students will use their senses to observe different objects throughout this unit. The first lesson involved some math as we sorted objects into different groups. We also read The Three Little Pigs: An Architectural Tale to learn about different materials that are used to build houses. Click here for more pictures from kindergarten science. 

 

2nd Graders Visit the Botanic Gardens

The second graders had a wonderful time visiting the Botanic Gardens this week. Students observed plants and insects working together in the Garden. We were very fortunate this year that the Chihuly exhibit was available for us to see as well. It was a wonderful opportunity for learning about science, art, mapping, and our community. Check out Chihuly Nights at the Gardens with your family until November 30. Click here to view more pictures from our trip to the garden and from second grade science.

Dissecting Pumpkins

Prekindergarten scientists observed pumpkins this week. They observed that it was orange, had seeds inside, was cold and gooey, and it smelled like dirt. It was a messy day in science as students used their senses to make observations.
