Science
The first grade students in 104 will be actively involved in hands-on science investigations. Think STEAM all year! Topics that will be covered relate to the life, physical, and earth sciences. Units from the FOSS program will serve as the backbone of our science studies as we explore new plants; solids and liquids; pebbles, sand and silt; and insects. Students will record observations and other information in their science logs.
Life cycles will be an ongoing theme throughout the year. Plants and animals are present in the classroom from Day One! Students will also participate in a Room 104 Science Fair. They will apply their knowledge of the scientific method and work in groups to display and present their findings. This will be a long-term activity, completed entirely in school.
