Math and Science Lab

In math we have been using ten frames to help build our number sense.  Students have shown numbers 0-20 using the ten frames and then relate them with addition and subtraction.  For example, thirteen is ten and three more or nineteen is one less than twenty.

In science we have been answering the question: What is a scientist?  We have also been learning about the scientific process and how to use safety rules in our school's science lab.  Last Friday we conducted an experiment to answer the question: What will make an egg in water float?  The students made their own hypothesis as to whether cornstarch, food coloring, salt, or vinegar would make the egg float.  In conclusion, we discovered that salt made the eggs float.
