Science Experiment Day

It is kind of funny to teach science in first grade. Parents and even students don't really understand that learning about things like plants, animal habitats, and weather, is actually our science. They seem to think of science as more hands-on experiments. I guess in a lot of ways, so do I, or at least that is the kind of science I enjoy. I like the investigative type of science. The kind that allows for predictions (a hypothesis) and then the testing of those predictions.

I think that this kind of investigative learning and thinking is important and fun. One way I get more of this in our classroom is through a Science Experiment Day. It is a day full of hands-on investigations, thinking, discussion and recording. Students truly feel like scientist. I just wish I had the lab coats to go with it. Ok, now I've got to go get lab coats. Anyways, I love it.
