It's been a GREAT first week back from Winter Break. The kids are well-rested and ready to learn!!
During the next nine weeks, we will be covering the following:
K- We will be using our five senses to sort different objects based on what they are made of. We will be learning about different earth materials- rocks, soil, sand. We will also look at the characteristics of living and non-living things.
1st Grade- We will be learning the basic parts of the plant and doing some experiements with plants to help understand their basic needs. We will also learn about the basic needs of animals.
2nd Grade- We will study how trees change in teh winter and begin our Astronomy unit by learning about the Stars, Sun, Earth and Moon.
3rd Grade- We will be doing some experiments with thermometers and heat energy. We will also discover which materials are good conductors and insulators of heat. After that, we will be learning all about magnets!!
4th Grade- We will be "launching" into outer space by studying stars, planets, the earth and moon and how movement in space affects us here on Earth.
5th Grade- The majority of the next nine weeks will be spent on learning about electricity and magnetism. Students will be constructing electric circuits and an electromagnet.
Thank you for your continued support of the Science Lab!!
