Join me in this first and second grade science adventure! This is quarter one of the full curricula, however, *students do not need to take these quarters in order*.  Every lesson is interactive and includes a hands-on activity or experiment to help students visualize the lesson. Lessons are built with the Next Generation Science Standards in mind. I encourage students to share stories, experiences, and any artifacts that they may have for the weekly topic! Sometimes students ask questions and we will explore to find the answer together. 

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!

The weekly topics are below: 

Week 1 - Light and sound waves - Let's make music AND shadow puppets!
Week 2 - Animal adaptations: Part 1 Eyes - Animal vision
Week 3 - Animal adaptations: Part 2 Beaks - Beaks of many kinds
