Science Changes
We have been examining matter and how it changes when mixed with water.  Here we are comparing salt crystals that  were mixed with water.  The water has since evaporated.  We are comparing these crystals to salt grains.  Notice how each child is observing on their side of the paper.  In the middle of the paper they are putting their thoughts together to look for similarities.  Deep thinking in second grade!

Writing: Lab Reports - 
We're having so much fun writing this marking period!  In our informative unit we are learning how to write lab reports.  The best part is to write a lab report, you have to do an experiment!  See our writing below for some scientific thinking...we're making a list of our materials and drawing a diagram as to how to set up the experiment!
