Science Inquiry Centers-

Our class has been hard at work completing Science units on observing, including using our five senses, and how to use Science tools.  We completed our unit with inquiry centers using leaves.  These centers provided a wonderful opportunity to practice for our upcoming Math unit on sorting.

We used a balance to weigh leaves with cubes.

We experimented with measurement of different leaves.  The students had several tools at hand to use in measurement.  Some students used frogs and others used rulers.

Students used hand lenses to observe the leaves.  Colored pencils were provided so that the children could draw diagrams of the leaves.

We also observed an insect.
