This week, kindergarten students were observing, and using scientific tools! The class began with a discussion about plants, and what they need to survive. As a group, they were able to identify water, sun, and soil. We discussed the word observe, and performed an experiment to practice our observation skills. The students know that flowers need water. The question I asked the students to think about is, what will happen if we put flowers in colorful water? The students discussed the possible results, and shared that the flower may die, there may be an explosion, and the flower may change color. It was an exciting transformation! Next, the students were introduced to scientific tools, and practiced using them safely and correctly. They used droppers, and magnifying glasses to further observe the flowers.
