Chemistry - Grade 1

First grade chemists conducted a series of experiments called, "What Dissolves?" Students worked independently to test a variety of solids to see which are water-soluable and which are not. We extended the experiment to examine the affect of water temperature on dissolving. The first graders were so excited to do these experiments! They set up each experiment on their own and recorded their own data - great job first grade!!!

Grade 1 - Mass, Using a Balance, Extinct Animals

First graders were introduced to the concept of MASS and they learned how to use a balance to find the mass of extinct animal models. Some of the animals we discussed: pterosaurs, giant sloths, amebeledons, dodos, saber toothed tigers, megalodons, woolly mammoths, and thylacines.
