We start each lesson with a question or a means to experiment. Since we were learning the science process skills through apples, our question was...do all apples have the same number of seeds? We record in our table of contents and do activity numbers since page numbers can be a little confusing. Next, we glue our question at the top and draw a small line for our prediction or hypothesis. Right now, they can keep it to yes and no, but we will move to using because and telling their reasoning behind their predictions. After we conducted the experiment we sketched and labeled our observations and recorded our findings. We worked together as a class to come up with our statement...in the future they will be more responsible for their own thinking and findings. I also printed a picture of the graph from the hallway that they glued in to help show our findings. XO more with apples to come.
