Second Grade Scientists

What do scientists do?  What would you study if you were a scientist?  These are the questions that launched this year's science work. 

Before beginning our Earth Science study of soil, we talked about the difference between a prediction and an observation.  The second graders shared what they thought they would find in soil and then had some time to make some observations and record their findings.  We will be practicing recording our scientific thinking and observations in order to share it with others.

 Below are some photos of our first science work.
