I am so happy to have finally seen all my Oakman students this week!\u00a0 \u00a0I also was very excited to have met some new Oakman faces:)<\/p>\n

For the first few weeks we have been working on classroom procedures and rules, creating seating charts, setting up our science notebooks, and having some fun!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kindergarten<\/strong> students are learning about what science is and what they think a scientist looks like.<\/p>\n

First and Second Graders<\/strong>\u00a0 are focusing on science skills : observing and prediciting.\u00a0 They were engaged\u00a0 in a skittle experiment where they used their eyes to observe and predict what would happen when warm water was added to a circle of skittles on a white paper plate.<\/p>\n

Third and Fourth Graders\u00a0<\/strong>are thinking like a scientist.\u00a0 They were given\u00a0 the following materials: balloon, pop bottle, funnel, and Nerd candies and were asked to work in a group to plan an experiment they could do using the materials.<\/p>\n

Fifth Graders<\/strong> are working on Team building and the engineering process.\u00a0 They were asked if they\u00a0could build a structure (using 10 cups, 6 cubes, 10 craft sticks) with only one wooden cube as the base.\u00a0\u00a0 They are in the process of creating a plan with their groups and will continue next week to create the structure using their plans.\u00a0 Look for pictures next week:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
