Following are a few important bits of information for families regarding our science learning, directly from the mouths of first graders;)
"Scientists are important because they find out things."
"In science we learn experiments."
"The best part of science is always thinking."
"The best part of science is finding new stuff."
"The best part of science is when we have Pam over."
In first grade, Mrs. Droll leads science for both 1A and 1B at separate times, three times weekly. So far this year we have explored the following Big Ideas:
- Trees have many important parts.
- There are parts of soil.
This week we wrapped up a health and wellness unit focusing on germs and proper handwashing. We are looking forward to starting a new unit, Balls and Ramps next week! For this unit, we will be collecting a few items from home. If you have any of the following items lying around the house we would love to take them off your hands!
- empty wrapping paper tubes
- aluminum foil
- rubber bands
- newspapers
