First Grade Science

This year for First Grade Science we have chosen to go with R.E.A.L Science Odyssey: Earth and Space.  So far we have done a Weather Unit and started a Water Cycle Unit.  The girls have had a lot of fun with this coarse.  It is the most hands-on curriculum I have found for science.  There is usually one lesson page followed by several labs.  We do about two a week and there are also suggestions for keeping a science journal along the way.

Here are the girls with the rain gauge we made.  We also made a weather vane, an anemometer (to measure wind speed) and recorded the temperature changes for several days.  We have also made rain, clouds and proved that there is water in the air.
