Working Like Scientists

We have been learning how to observe and record our observations like scientists by examining 'mystery seeds'.  We looked carefully to notice the size, color, and texture of our subjects and then drew and wrote to capture what we saw.  

Then, we began to use tools to notice greater levels of detail.  We tried both hand lenses and jeweler's loupes, and made entries in our science notebooks for both.

Our 1R scientists shared their work in science meetings at the conclusion of each lesson.
