Have your first and second graders been whisking through the house trying to release things in air or create air themselves to move objects? If so, then they are continuing their learning from our newest science unit on air and weather! This week's lessons have been on exploring air. The kids have learned that air is a form of matter, that it takes up space and that it can move things. They have been busy seeing how air can interact with feathers, straws and balloons. They also completed experiments that involved finding out how bubbles are made and how air can fill something to capacity and create pressure to push objects around, or to help them float like in the case of a parachute. We're loving science and can't wait until next week!
