Observation Walk

Today I had the pleasure of working with 2nd graders at RES. They have been studying what scientists do by reading lots of books, going on nature walks, and writing in their science notebooks. Not to mention all the great conversations we have had.

We went to the playground at RES today armed with our iPads, science notebooks, and data collection sheets (a picture of the sheet is below). The class did an awesome job collecting samples, for further observation in the classroom with magnifying glasses, and recording their observations.

The students and I will be using the iPad to create a presentation based on our observations. Stay tuned.
