Join me in this first and second grade science adventure! This is semester one of the full curricula, however, students do not need to take these semesters in order. Lessons are developed with Next Generation Science Standards in mind. Every lesson is interactive and includes a hands-on activity or experiment to help students visualize the lesson. I encourage students to share stories, experiences, and any artifacts that they may have for the weekly topic. I also encourage students to ask questions, and if I don't know the answer we look the answer up as a class! 

Each week I will post optional worksheets and extra activities in the classroom for students to complete, if they choose. This is helpful for students who enjoy the topics and would like to continue being a scientist throughout the week! 
I will be available to answer any questions that students post in the classroom within 24 hours. I also encourage students/parents to post pictures of their work or experiments in the classroom. This is a fun way for students to connect as well! However, this is optional.

-The weekly topics are below-

Week one: Herivore, Carnivore, and Omnivore- Let's compare and contrast!
Week two: Fish Anatomy- Fish game 
Week three: Reptiles- Cold-blooded temperature experiment
Week four: Amphibians- Amphibian restaurant menu activity + amphibian snack 
Week five: Mammals- Whose foot is that? game, Foot comparison drawings 
Week six: Birds- Paper airplane/birds STEM activity 
Week seven: Animals external covering- STEM animal covering challenge
Week eight: Animal habitats- Lifesize animal habitat creations
