We were finally able to fit our first science lab, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, into our busy calendar. The children learned about the importance of finding out how large or small something is. They were introduced to the vocabulary of weights and measures - pounds, inches, feet, etc. They were also shown some of the tools we use to find out how big an item is or how much it weighs - ruler, yard stick, tape measure, scale, etc. Then each child was weighed and measured so they could see their own measurements.
Then the children were let loose in the classroom with a ruler so they could measure some items we use everyday.
Finally, we used a recipe to make something together. We were sure to use the correct measurements of ingredients to make something really special.
SNOW!!!!!
