Science Work

After we had great conversations about how scientists explore, Fawn Friends had the opportunity to be scientists themselves! Science is one of my favorite subjects with young learners as it speaks to the very core of who they are! Curious, hands on, deep thinking, questioning beings!
Take a look at your scientists at work!

Here you see them practicing with gentle hands to use a science tool. The challenge was to move water from one jar to another using droppers while making sure only to release one drop at a time. Their focus was amazing!






In the photographs below you see scientists experimenting with tops and balance toys. It was so interesting to hear them discuss how to change speed and what effect it would have if they spun two tops at once!






Below you will see scientists looking closely at items from nature. We discussed how scientists don't just look at things, they use their science eyes to observe and think about what they see. I love seeing them engaged! Nature is amazing to study!




We also learned that scientists measure to study size and weight. Below you will see them weighing shells using balances.





Below you see scientists using binoculars to look closely at nature and record exactly what they see.






I hope your child can tell you about some of their science work!!
