Poppin' into Science

We explored the scientific method this week.  I explained to the children that science is change and we observe those changes through our five senses.  I used a common shared experience to integrate writing into the lesson.  I had the children draw what the bag of popcorn looked like before popping and using their background knowledge they drew what it would look like after it was heated and changed.

 

 

 Then the children waited anxiously to eat their popcorn!

 Yummy!!

 Next week, we will continue to explore the scientific method through color.  Just can't wait!
Warmly,
Mrs. C.
