Science Notebooks

Here is a picture of one of the entries we have made in our Science Notebooks recently.  We are studying Day/Night from the National Geographic Earth Science Kit.  We were drawing/writing about things we can see at nighttime or during the daytime:     This is a page that came with the kit, but it [...]

Sinking and Floating

Because we are going to be going on our field trip to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard later this week, I thought it might be a good idea to introduce sinking and floating to my students.  You might ask what these two things have in common… This wee we have been talking/learning about apples so once [...]

Science Journals

We’ve been doing some work in our Science Journals and I thought I would show you some examples from a variety of students in my classroom.  All of the ideas/recording sheets I came up with and I will eventually be sharing them on my blog… Kristen

Observation Sheet
