Science

Wow! Science class is so amazing! Our science teacher’s name is Ms. Green. Speaking of green, we learn about green plants, green grass, and green leaves! We go to science class 2 to 3 days a week. So far we have learned a lot about oceans and plants! Our class is always very excited to go to science class. We can’t wait till next science class!
We have a lot of different topics in science class. Some of the topics are oceans and plants. Our current topic is oceans and marine life. It’s an interesting topic and a fun one too. In the oceans topic we learn lots of different stuff about oceans, like the water cycle, the ocean floor isn’t flat, and how different marine animals live their lives. For example : a Hermit Crabs’ right claw is bigger than the left claw. In a plant project we got to grow some awesome plants.
In science class we use a lot of different kinds of tools. Some tools we use are books. We use the books to gather information or learn about things. We also used a paint pan with water in it to see how you can make waves with your body. Another tool we used was a wave bottle. We used the wave bottle to see what you have to do to make a wave. For example we tried to tilt it one way. A wave bottle is a water bottle with oil and something else that was dyed blue in it. Some more tools we used were soil and seeds. We used the soil and seeds to make a mini garden in a tub. First we put the soil in and then we made holes for the seeds to go in. We grew foot long plants! But we of course had to use rulers to measure our plants. We used our notebooks to record our information. Sometimes we watch videos about topics we are learning about. We even get to watch “Magic School Bus” movies!
In science class we are assigned all different kinds of projects! One of the projects we’re assigned was a cereal box project! We had to pick a marine animal and find information about it. We also grew plants for a project! That was really messy and fun! For our plant project we had five different types of plants: wheat, barley, corn radish and clover.
We learned about the ocean floor. We found out that the ocean floor is very interesting. We had to draw the ocean floor for another project! That project was not very easy because the ocean floor is not flat. We really liked the fish project! It was so fun. We learned about the fish and we looked at them and studied them! After that project if we could we’re allowed to take home a fish!
