Grade 1 • Week of April 27 - May 1 • Science Task

Overview

This week, for science, let's review the how we can think and act think a scientist or engineer.

The image below shows the eight(8) Science and Engineering Practices that we learn about and use.

As we learn about science and engineering, we do not just learn facts, we learn how to act and think like a scientist or engineer.

You are going to use PebbleGo Science online, through MackinVIA databases to complete the following task. See below to find steps for getting to PebbleGo Science.

Task

STEP 1. In PebbleGo Science choose Science and Engineering Practices and then click on Science and Engineering Methods.

STEP 2. Read these three(3) articles. When you are in the article, you can select the yellow and white speaker icon for the words to be read aloud to you.

STEP 4. In the your home Content Journal, find the next empty page in your Science section. Write today's date at the top of the page.

STEP 5. Draw and label a picture of you as a scientist or engineer. When you are drawing, think about:

- What are you observing?
- What are you investigating?
- What are you building or creating?
- How do you, as a scientist, share your work?

SHARE IT! Keep your Content Journal with you at our next virtual check-in. You might choose to share your drawing.
