Hello parents and students,
I hope everyone's school year has started off wonderful, and hopefully all my students are making A's & B's. Well things have been great in the Science Lab, I have so much to share with you all! First, Blue Ridge Elementary had to the pleasure of being on Channel 13 News......for something good of course. Deborah Wrigley Channel 13 field reporter stopped by the Science Lab to talk to, and filmed our broadcast students for her Hometown Live segment. It was very exciting experience for us, the student had the chance to hold a thousand dollar camera and talk to Deborah about her career. We even toured the News Station van. Some photos of the event are down below and you can watch the Blue Ridge's Hometown Town Live segment
HERE. Who knows, maybe some day some of the BRE News crew members might be working at Channel 13!
I've been very busy in the Science Lab also, introducing students to science lab equipment and working with our 5th graders on the physical properties of matter. So far I've done two lab sessions, "Getting to know The Science Lab" were I taught our students the safety rules of the science lab, followed by a hands on activity on different scientific tools we use. I taught our 5th graders how to measure mass with a Triple Beam Balance with a lesson I titled "Measuring Mass".
This year my motto for the Lab is to"
Think like a Scientist", and in order to think like a scientist you must know scientific vocabulary. Inside of the science lab I encourage our students to use as many science vocabulary words they know and to always analyze, observed and reflect on different experiments. Parents what you can do to help your student think like a Scientist is to encourage them to check out Non-Fiction books or science related books when you visit the library. Remember science is knowledge attained through study or practice!
