Since school started almost two weeks ago (YIKES!), we have been working on learning how to become scientists. Our first unit is all about what scientists are, what they do, and what tools do they use to do it. So far we have explored the job of a scientist and looked at the tools scientists use. We know that a scientist will not always use the same tool. Some jobs required certain tools. Our scholastic reader for last week showed some specific tools that couldn't be replaced. For example, you couldn't use a regular camera to look into space, and you couldn't use a telescope to take pictures for observation up close.
The simplest, but most important tool a scientist uses is his/her body!We looked at our five senses last week and what each does to help us learn about science. To help us keep track of this information, we have filled up our science bulletin board with scientists!
We are currently working on using these new skills we have learned in an investigation. Keep looking in the coming weeks for sneak peeks.
