Magnets

Today in the Science Lab were stated to learn about magnets. The students rotated through centers and learned about how magnets attract and repel things. They had a great time! At home you can help them learn more. BrainPop Jr.  has a great video. I'm sure they would love to experiment more at home. Just be sure to remind them that we do not place magnets on electronics!!!

Science Lab

This week in the Science Lab the students were challenged to use materials to keep their duck dry. They worked with partners to create and execute a plan to build a shelter for their rubber duck. The shelter had to keep the duck dry. The students had so much fun!
