K-2 Science & Tech Lab
 
This week in the lab...

in honor of Earth Day, kindergartners learned how to make recycled paper in science lab!

First graders learned about density. Students compared various liquids, such as oil and water, as well as solids like a pencil, paper clip, plastic block, crayon, and plastic button to determine which are more dense and which are less dense.

Second graders began our unit on rocks and minerals. We learned the difference between a rock and a mineral by watching a BrainPopJr. video. We looked at several rocks and minerals up close, and sorted them into piles depending on if they were rocks or minerals. Ms. Phillips also shared her rock collection with the students.

During technology lab, second graders began their final tech project for the year. Each student created a survey, and surveyed all the children in their class. With their data, their will begin to create a PowerPoint which will showcase their findings.

We candled the eggs! I am happy to announce that nearly all of our eggs are showing signs of development!

Well, that's what's happening this week at 260 Cedar Road. Until next time, stay classy Casita...
