Little Scientists

Hi Friends!
 
I love teaching science!  I just wish I had more time in my school day to teach
it more often.  I introduce the subject of science by reading two books.  The first one
is called Meet Einstein by Mariela Kleiner and the second one is called
 What is a Scientist? by Barbara Lehn. 
 


 
Here's a picture of the little scientists in my classroom this year.
(Sorry about the blurry faces, but I can't show my students.)
The young woman in the middle is my student teacher Kate.
The lab coats and goggles were donated by my daughter and several other
students at Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa.
They're way too big, but my students did NOT want to take them off.
 
We plan to record our scientific data in a science journal.  Here's a picture of what the journal
looks like.   I found the cover on Pinterest and here's the link to get a copy:
