Solids and Liquids Unit with both First and Second Grade

Solids and Liquids

First and Second Grade

Dear Parents,

In the next few weeks I will begin teaching about Solids and Liquids.  We will be combining both first and second grade together two times a week for science.  The Solids and Liquids Module emphasizes the development of observation and description skills and building explanations based on experience.  The module supports the following National Science Education Standards.

Science as Inquiry:

Develop students' abilities to do and understand scientific inquiry.

Content: Physical Science

Develop students' understanding of the characteristics of matter.

Science and Technology

Develop students' abilities in technological design.

I am looking forward to this unit.  I was recently trained by Gemsnet/URI.  The science kit is full of fabulous hands-on activities that the children will love!
