Science
Response to Environment
Students conducted an experiment. They were given a cold meal worm. As the worm began to warm it it became more active. Students enjoyed watching the worm wiggle to and fro. They wanted to take them home as pets. The worms no happily reside in the preschool garden!
Science Experiment: Push and Pull
Students needed to use a pencil, paper clip, washer, and string to move the washer from one position to another.
Balance of Nature
Students learned the affects of overpopulation by taking on the roles of predator and prey. Some students were rabbits while others were wolves. As the students tagged their classmates they then became predators. Soon the food supply had vanished. The roles then were reversed by students taking on the role of hawks and others snakes. Again the same result of the food supply disappeared.
Adaptation
Students used a variety of tools to represent the different types of beaks of the Honey Creeper bird. One bear was long and narrow to drink the nectar from flowers. Another beak was strong to pick up larger items. And the last beak was wide to scoop up seeds or insects.

Exploring Our Environment
Students toured the school grounds looking for living and nonliving things. They noted all the things they could find in their science spiral notebooks. As you can see there were lovely plants abound. Science class room 3-19 chose a light post as their nonliving item while 3-18 chose the playground equipment.
A Third Grade student shares her Science experiment with the class. The students have been studying plants, and discussed how the stem carries nutrients to the leaves. The student's experiment demonstrates this hypothesis, and supports it with evidence.
Science :Freezing Vapor
Most people did not enjoy the subzero weather we had in February, but our science class had a ball or maybe I should say bubble. We were studying about weather and changing temperatures. The students were excited to find that the bubbles froze almost instantly. This can only be done in extremely cold weather. As the bubble was freezing the students could see the physical change happen before their eyes.
