Welcome to the second grade! In second grade we start to hone the skills that scientist need to be successful. The students will develop a deeper understanding of the scientific method and are introduced to being and thinking like an engineer. The classes are using more tools and have exploratory labs where they need to develop and test their own hypothesis. One new concept added this year was the use of engineering to design and build a boat using common materials in order to demonstrate buoyancy.
We Have:
Defined Matter Measured Matter Demonstrated Density Constructed Models to Demonstrate Buoyancy Explain the Relationship Between Density and Buoyancy Identified What an Engineer Does Built Teamwork Skills |
We Are:
Constructing Boats Thinking Like Engineers Building Teamwork Skills Defining How Matter Changes ***Please Note That WE will be dissecting sheep's' eyes as part of our eye unit at the end of the year. Please look for volunteer forms to come after spring break. |
