Air and Weather Science Investigation 1

Create your own free slideshow Above is a slide show of the fun learning experiences we've been having in Science class.  Students  are learning about Air.  These photos begin at Investigation 1 and end with Investigation 4.  We have 2 more investigations on Air before we complete this unit of study. Ask your child about the experiments in the pictures to learn more about what we're learning about in class.    Thank you for stopping by!   ~peace~ Mrs. Dryzal

Bubbles

We are studying Wind in Science this cycle.  Our first activity was Bubbles.  We discovered how the wind blows the bubbles and how the movement of the bubbles changes depending on where we stand when we blow them.

Weather Themed Writing and Crafts

 As part of our Nonfiction block and FOSS kit work, we have been learning about a variety of weather topics.    In the photo above, students wrote about what they would do if they were a meteorologist on TV.

"If I were a meteorologist, I will tell my class the weather and my parents."

 "If I were a meteorologist, I would tell the weather and I will tell when a storm is coming."

We read The Rain Came Down by David Shannon after learning about how a rain gauge works.  Then we wrote about what we like to do on a rainy day. 

 

After learning about the types of clouds in the sky, we read It Looked Like Spilt Milk  by Charles Green Shaw.  We looked at the clouds in the sky and what they can form, then we created some things we saw in the sky using shaving cream and glue.  The students enjoyed this activity!

FOSS KIT: Air and Weather Investigation

 Students worked with syringes, bottles, tubes and water today to explore how air pressure can move water, as well as to prove that air takes up space through a variety of experiments.  Students worked in pairs to create an instrument to show the above mentioned concepts. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Parachutes

 In Science, with the help of the FOSS kit, we are learning about air and weather.  Today we made parachutes and learned about wind resistance.  Above, the students are putting together their parachutes.  The pictures below show them dropping the parachutes to see how they fall.  

On Day 2, the students will record their findings and observations.
