Science at Home

The students are excited about their new science magazine! We hope you are having discussion with your child about the scientific method. Here's an outline for discussion. Elementary students are so interested in learning new, long words and their meaning.

What is the title of this experiment?
What questions do you have about this experiment?
What do you think will happen? (Called the hypothesis.)
What supples do you need? (Must be collected first before doing any activity.)
What is the procedure? (What do you do first, second, etc.)
What happened? (You have to observe closely.) This is called the result.

Sometimes, a student may need a certain piece of equipment such as a balance scale. They are welcome to do that portion of the activity in class.

Please send back the science magazine to school on the Friday it's due and eventually we will return the magazines to your child to add to his collection of science magazines at home. encourage your child to re-read and revisit her favorite experiments. This will be fun over the Thanksgiving and Winter break too! We are planning to make a special science folder at school to send home for the student's magazine collection.
