Science Discovery Centers

I set out some interesting science centers for the students to check out.  Sometimes they need free time with items to explore and think about before we talk about them.

I set out seashells for the kids to check out.  They 
really liked them!

At this table they practiced using a magnifying glass.  They 
looked at sand, soil and later at print.  Understanding 
how to use real tools like magnifying glasses
 and binoculars is important for young scientists.

At the third center, the students messed with magnets 
and tried to see what they would and would not stick to.  
Their faces were filled with wonder at times. 
I loved seeing that!
