Mrs. Beare's class recently went outside for Science on a nature walk! Students used their five senses to explore the school campus and write sentences that described what they found while outside. The class also used their sentences to create drawings of their findings. The class studied how to be a scientist, how scientists use their five senses to conduct experiments and learn more about the world around them. Students also studied the trait of the week, "curiosity", to ask questions and learn more about the little things they saw outside.
