First-Grade Science Lab
Jordak’s first-grade pups spent Friday in the science lab with Mr. Claire Zurbach (aka Mr. Z.) learning more about the three properties – solids, liquids and gasses. After some brief instructions, students were split into groups and then had to work together to determine what exactly was at each of the nine stations set up around the lab.
In addition to identifying the object as a solid, liquid or gas, students also had to use various tools to measure each item. Students pulled from recent lessons in the classrooms to properly chart their solids, liquids and gasses from around the lab.
