PUPPIES SCIENCE CLASS EXPLORATIONS

In Science, The Puppies (PreK3s) are having fun

learning about air and making bubbles.
"I can make big bubbles and small bubbles!"
"Look I caught a bubble!"
"The bubbles have air in them!"
"No matter what shape wand we use, the bubbles
are always round!"
In Science, The Puppies (PreK3) are fishing with
magnets. The magnet catches/is attracted to some
items, but not all.
In Science, The Puppies (PreK3s) are learning about
sink and float.
In Science, The Jellyfish (Prek4s) are closely
observing a giant log that Mr. McCarthy keeps in his
office!
In Science, the Jellyfish (PreK4s) set up and started
a worm compost for our Science classroom. Guests
from The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens came to check
in on them, share some information and answer
many of the students' interesting questions.
In Science, The Jellyfish (PreK4s) are closely
observing, matching and sorting beautiful shells and
coral that were brought back from Cuba by the
grandmother of one of the students.
During our study of The Senses, Sight in particular,
Kindergarten students excitedly read 3D books!
During our study of Germs, Kindergarten students
swabbed their hands, then watched the bacteria
growth in petri dishes. They also swabbed other
locations such as the floor, the sink, the doorknob, a
toilet, the bottom of shoes, a table, a chair, and so
on. Can you guess where we found the most
bacteria? The sink!
During our Egg Study, Kindergarten students
"dissected" unfertilized chicken eggs. They excitedly
shouted out as they located various parts such as
the yolk, the albumen, the chalazae and the egg cell.
First Grade students loved making their own slime
during our study of Matter.
First Grade Students can make water walk!
We love our live specimens! Look at this adorable
stick insect! Our super scientists like this First Grade
Student, are always gentle and kind with the live
animals in our Science room.
Second Grade students successfully and happily
met the challenge during their Structures Unit. Using
a limited amount of straws and tape, students were
to build a free standing structure at least one meter
tall.
Second Grade students constructed bridges that
could hold a certain amount of tiles and that would
allow boats to pass under. These students are
celebrating their success!
As part of our Structures Unit, Second Grade
students built nkajis similar to the ones our
friends in Nydono Wasin live
