DO, and I understand. ~

Science News
"What are my
kids doing in science?"
K
- Observing Changes in Matter - What happens when we mix colors?
when we mix salt and water? What happens during evaporation?
1
-
Mysteries
Under the Microscope
Students
will find that everyday items look amazingly different under the
microscope - Can that fat, furry caterpillar possibly be a piece
of yarn? That's not a white, spider's web but a piece of
paper towel? Also, they will see what happens to salt under the
microscope when water is added - where does it go?
2
-
What's the
Matter With Water?
Students
will investigate the properties of water. They will see the
water cycle in action (It will actually rain in the classroom!
Bring your umbrella!).

- Exploring body systems -
Circulatory System
- Let's start with the
heart
- What does it look like? What does it do? How does it work with
the lungs and the blood? Students role-play circulation in
action - They become blood cells traveling around the body, or a
body part waiting for oxygen. When is it okay to push someone at
school? Well, when you're the
heart
pushing blood cells, of course!

-
Investigating
matter
- Who committed the crime? Solve the mystery of the
stolen
necklace
by investigating evidence from the crime scene. What is the
powder
that was left behind? What properties does it have? How do we
find out? Stay tuned...
PARENTS
- Did
you or your child find an interesting science picture in a
newspaper or magazine? Please encourage your child to bring it
in to science and share it with the class!

glow-in-the-dark animal skeleton book that the kids love to look
at. Great gift!
