The First Couple Weeks in the Science Lab

Well, the first couple of weeks of school are behind us now and I am excited about this school year! It's going to be a great year of science...I mean school. During the first couple of weeks of science lab, students have learned the rules and procedures, expectations, and emergency procedures. I demonstrated a bit of science magic the first time they saw me by crushing a soda can without touching it. Your child may have come home asking to do this with you. I have posted the directions for this simple experiment under the science experiments tab. The students and I also attempted to answer the BIG question - just What is science? Students cut out pictures and words in magazines and newspapers to show what they thought the answer might be.
