We had a great start to science class this year! I have really enjoyed getting to meet the students.
We started off by getting to know one another and setting up our binders and interactive science lab notebooks. The students also learned how to use this blog and the format for producing current event reports for science class. We then discussed whether or not we possessed the characteristics of a scientist. I believe that most students were convinced that they actually do have the traits of a scientist!
We next focused on descriptive writing and finding details in class and then observed meal worms and generated an "I notice/I wonder chart".
See the movie below.
Next week we will conduct and experiment that I have designed with the meal worms and write a lab report. We will then learn about the differences between testable (investigable) questions and researchable questions. The students will then generate a testable question related to the meal worms and decide on an investigation that they would like to conduct in teams.
I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend but can't wait to see what we will create next week!
Enjoy the 3 day weekend!
