This week in science we continued our exploration of our unknown specimens. Students were given a small object that they were asked to describe using their observation skills they had practiced in the past few weeks. Students worked like scientists to prove what the specimen was through their descriptive writing and sketches. It was interesting to watch the students classify what they believed were bones, they had found inside of their specimen. Students were encouraged to make connections and comparisons between what they had found and things that they had seen in the past.
Our exploration of patterns found in numbers and figures continued in math this week. Students were asked to identify growth patterns found in drawings and then represent the pattern using t-charts. Additionally students began to extend these patterns by figuring out each pattern's rule.
