Our kindergarteners have had a fantastic time engaging with science! They investigated everyday phenomena by building a "Structure for Shade," deepening their understanding of three-dimensional Science and Engineering topics through student-led inquiry. Using the anchor phenomenon of melting ice cream, they explored the question, "How can a structure be designed to reduce the warming effects of sunlight?"
Next, we learned about the physical properties of rocks, such as size, texture, pattern, and shine. Students then used the vocabulary words they learned to conduct their own hands-on exploration of rock properties. We're so proud of their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning!
