Science Observations

Even though there was a fall chill in the air this morning, our first graders gathered in the great outdoors to make observations in nature.  Our goal was to use 4 senses; hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling to observe nature.  (In science, we never use the sense of taste.)  How did the weather feel today?  Is it windy?  Did you observe effects in nature from wind, precipitation, or lack of precipitation?   What changes/differences might we observe in the winter, spring or summer? 
Directions will be sent home on Friday for a fun science observation assignment.  The children will love it!
