What Are We Learning About in Science?
Trees
Throughout the school year we will be focusing on our Trees unit. In this unit, we will observe the properties of different trees and their parts throughout the seasons. The students will create drawings of our class tree and label the parts. They will use their five senses to describe the properties. The students will have an opportunity to bring in leaves, pine cones, acorns, branches, bark and much more to share with their peers in our Science center.
Wood and Paper
We will be learning about different types of wood (particle board, plywood, maple, etc) and different types of paper. The students will have the opportunity to create their own particle board and plywood in the classroom to take home. They will also be making paper and discovering which paper is the easiest to use for drawing.
Push, Pull, Go
This is our STEM unit in which incorporates Technology, Engineering and Mathematics with Science. The students will be building using KNEX and discovering different ways of motion.
