This week we are going to start science. Kids LOVE science and so do I! To kick off our first science unit I’m going to start with the question, “What is science?” To do this I’m asking for some help from the students. I would like students to go on a nature walk to collect a few items that would be considered life sciences or earth sciences (see the list below). Please limit what your child brings to 3-4 small items (small enough to fit in your child’s backpack). Please send all items to school by Wednesday, September 18. Thanks!
What is science?
Science is the study of:
1. Life Sciences (things that are alive in our world, ex: plants and animals)
2 Earth Sciences (things in our world, ex: rocks, earth, land, water, sky, solar system, etc.)
3. Physical Science (things in our world that are non-living, ex: senses, matter, things that move, energy, etc. and how things work)
STUDY means to investigate and to figure out WHY!
