Science: Weather and Water.

Students are excited to learn about Weather and the Water Cycle. We are integrating these Science concepts into our Writer's Workshop.  Together we are working on an experiment.  We posed a question about the world, made a hypothesis and set it up.  We learned about the steps in writing a lab report.

1. Ask a question about how the world works.
2. Record your hypothesis.
3. Write the step-by-step procedure and materials.
4. Notice and record observations and results.
5. Write a conclusion.

Here are some of the photos from our experiment. We observed water evaporating, condensation and precipitation. We learned more about the water cycle through books and videos.  We concluded that we need heat from the sun to power the water cycle.  Ask your child about this process.  We are creating diagrams, using poems and learning songs to help us with this learning. Good scientists do some research and learn more about a topic to help them understand their experiments and the results.
