We are Scientists!

Whoa! We had a busy, science-filled week! Check out these photos with your first grader so they can give you more details. :)

Our butterfly came out of its chrysalis and we released it outside!

We used our apples from the orchard last week and cut them up to make applesauce! We learned about knife safety, the importance of washing hands, and also measuring ingredients for a recipe. When the applesauce was ready, we got to taste it! Yum. :)

Can kids be scientists? At first, we didn't think so, but then we learned about what they do (ask questions, measure, record their thinking, test things, etc). We realized that we are already scientists! 

Then we used the scientific method: we asked questions, made predictions and observations, recorded our observations, and then shared our thoughts.

Our question was: "What will happen if we put a Gobstopper in warm water?" Ask your scientist about the results!

We learned more about Seesaw and played Seesaw Go! We learned about QR (Quick Response) Codes and practiced scanning them around the room. When we scanned a code, it played a video that told us to do different things! We also practiced sharing the iPads and walking carefully with them. Then we made videos with our partners to talk about what we did!
