Exploring Magnets in First Grade!

Last week for science, 1st Grade explored magnets! After we reviewed with the Magnets BrainPOP on Wednesday we did our Magnets quiz.

Thursday and Friday the kids worked in their learning groups exploring magnets! There were 6 different learning stations they visited. The kids played a magnet sorting and testing game on the SMART board, took turns reading a book about magnets as a group, tried to make ring magnets and a paperclip float, looked at how magnets move in different liquids, tested then recorded magnetic and non-magnetic items, and played with magnetic wants and different items to see how they interacted with the magnets. 

Problem Solving ... with Mazes!

Last week, after kindergarten finished talking about problem solving and littering, they made mazes. They had to use play dough and popsicle sticks to make their maze and get a ball (a piece of litter) from the ground (beginning of the maze) to the trash can (end of the maze). The put their mazes on serving trays (thank you, Mrs. Toscano for letting me borrow yours!) to they could move their ball around when they were ready. There was some awesome problem solving, discussion and team work going on!

 

Problem Solving ... Littering!

Last week in science, kindergarten talked about littering being a problem in their classrooms, and we enriched on it in my SSTEAM class. The first day, we watched a BrainPOP about reducing, reusing and recycling to go with the littering they were talking about in their classes (which took up most of our Wednesday).

Thursday when the kids came in, we went outside to solve our "littering problem". Someone had thrown litter all over the ground! Ok, it was me ... but it was still a fun game! The kids started at one end of the courtyard and took turning in their group, relay style, grabbing a piece of litter and helping it make its way to their team's trash can. The winning group that had the most trash in their can got pencils! There were some fast kiddos!
