First Graders Think Like Scientists!

It was our first enrichment class today, and it was great!  We put ourselves in the shoes, or labcoats I should say, of scientists!  We focused today on using our senses to make observations.  The little scientists got creative when classifying beans.

 

Used their sense of touch to guess what was in their Mystery Bags.

 

 

We headed outside and gathered a variety of leaves during a nature walk.  We used magnifying glasses to use our sense of sight up close!

 

 

We came back to our cottage classroom to do some leaf rubbings (a first for some of thes junior scientists).  Then they compared their leaf to a classmates.
