First Trimester in the Books! Looking Ahead....

First Trimester in the lab was an exciting one! Students in grades kindergarten through four explored topics related to Earth Science and studied elephants as a keystone species. In addition, children had opportunities to join the Crusie ‘Cast weather club and Crusie Cares gardening club. For information on joining these clubs, please see the tabs on the right side of this blog.

Projects for the Science Fair have been rolling in!  It has been amazing to see the pride our youngest Crusies have taken in their work! From one kindergartener's model of a nest inspired by Ms. G-H's interactive bulletin board to another's model of a maglev train, to a first grade student's model of her lost tooth, these projects are age appropriate and inspired by each of the scientist's interests! For more information on submitting a Science Fair Project, please visit the following pages which can be found by clicking on the links on the right side of this page: Science Fair, Cranium Club and Art of the Brick. The final date for submitting a project is March 3rd! However, please do not wait until the last minute. Begin thinking of a topic to explore now and map out a plan that is conducive to your family's schedule.

Looking forward to topics related to Physical Science we will enjoy in the second trimester....

Kindergarten and Pre-First will explore Pushes and Pulls, Speed and Direction as well as Energy from the Sun.

First Grade will explore Sound, Behavior of Light, and Communication.

Second Grade will explore Properties and States of Matter, Purposes of Properties, Building Blocks of Matter and Changes from Heat.

Third Grade will explore Objects and Motion and Electric and Magnetic Forces.

Fourth Grade will explore Energy, Chemical Processes, Waves, Light Reflection and Information Technologies.

Stay Sensational!
