Today in Strawberry: After snack we had a final capitalization lesson followed by an extended writing workshop focused on the character stories the students are composing. After lunch we began our shared reading, By the Great Horn Spoon, by Sid Fleischman. The book will be read as part of read aloud, as well as independently, and discussed in book groups. This week students will begin to bring home their book group job assignments.
Following read aloud we began our next phase of science. Today we put together our science journals, learned about the scientific method, and conducted an experiment to hone our observation and note taking skills, as well as questioning. The students observed a glass of room temperature water versus a glass of ice water. This lead to a discussion about condensation and how it occurs, for which several students shared their understanding of. We also observed bubbles form in the glass of room temperature water, and are puzzling over why that occurs, but not so much in the ice water. Our science focus for the next few months is chemistry, which we will continue with this week.
Capitalization!
Move to the side if is should have caps!
Observing a glass of ice water compared to a glass of room temperature water.
Okay, condensation seems obvious, but why do bubbles form inside a glass of water?
And, is condensation so easy to understand?
What is really going on?
Students are being encouraged to think about it and suggest ways examine these types of questions.
