The Building Blocks of Learning

The past fews weeks in science, we have begun learning about matter! Matter is one of my favorite units… okay, let’s be honest, everything about science is my favorite! We are learning about solids, liquids, and gases, properties of matter, and how you can build different objects from the same pieces! We worked with Legos and blocks last week to create tools (objects with purposes) using the same materials and plans. My favorite lesson coming up with when we make Oobleck (or 3 Little Pig Houses, which we got lots of school compliments on last year)!
