Science
SCIENCE BLOCKS: MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY
This week, I am hoping to wrap up our first unit in science. We will continue to review the Scientific Process (i.e. Scientific Method) including why we use it, the steps involved in that process and we will practice applying those steps in several different contexts. We will watch & read about specific experiments and pick out parts of the scientific method. We will then review a bit and take our first unit test on “How Scientists Work” hopefully on Friday if all goes as planned. I will send an email with more information once we get closer.
