Science Practices

In science, perseverance is key to success. With hard work, anything is possible! In our science class, we will be using the engineering cycle as a recipe for success. Nothing in science is ever truly finished, just as it is with writing! Sometimes when we "engineer" something new, it doesn't work. Failure is the key to success. With each failed attempt at a design, we learn something new. Maybe we learn what not to try, or how we can change our current design to make it a little bit better. Now you and your family can watch this video together to learn a little bit more about the engineering process!

Life Cycles Galore!

Welcome to the wonderful world of life cycles! Have you ever wondered how a tadpole becomes a frog, or a seed turns into a plant? Well get ready to learn! We're going on an exploration of life cycles and how plants and animals grow. How they are similar and how they are different. In preparation for our unit, you and your parents can watch this fun video together and get a glimpse of plant life cycles.
