Seasons in the Science Lab

    In the science lab, Mrs. Riggins had pictures that represented the seasons hung around the room. We walked around and looked at the pictures. Then we talked about the pictures and what season it represented. We also talked about how the seasons are a pattern called a cycle that repeat over and over.

        Students created a seasons wheel on a paper plate. They had to draw 5 different pictures for each season and label correctly.

Five Senses and Weather

In science this week, we read Parts by Ted Arnold. On Monday we talked about the different parts of his body that were coming "unglued" and we illustrated a picture of our bodies and wrote our names. Then on Tuesday we read the story again and focused on which of his senses were making him aware of his different body parts coming apart. Then the students colored and cut out pictures and glued them on their body pictures to match the sense they would use to experience that object.

We also learned about different types of weather and the seasons. We talked about how the seasons are a cycle because they repeat in the same order every year. We also talked about clothing that is appropriate for each season. We illustrateded appropriate seasonal clothing and labeled the seasons on a paper plate.

Seasons in the Science Lab

We went to the science lab and read the book Colors of the Seasons by Margaret Perez. We discussed how trees look in each season. Then we used Q-tips and paint to illustrate how a tree changes through the seasons. We labeled the trees with the season they represented.
