I agree with the Family Scienc Night. I also read an article earlier about a school that had science backpacks that tudents could check out and they would take the backpack with materials home and a parent would help the child complete the expieriment. This helped build those family to school connections.

Home Connections

I think it is extremely important for students to home home to school connections. The parents and teachers want what best and this is a great way to show it! Students can practice writing and expressing themselves as well. I think using a journal to note science thinking is a great thing to have because you can look back at it later.

Great Idea

This is a great activity that deals with looking at the temperature an seeing the effects of it on eggs! I enjoy ho it allows the students to observe and record their data. I always enjoy using a good trade book in a lesson. I think it helps explain things in terms the students understand.

Amazing!

I think this article provides a wonderful way to get students interested in bees. I would use this lesson especially for my students who love to see the bees out in the garden! This is a perfect balance of a teacher and student lead lesson! I was able to learn a lot about the relationship of plants and bees.
