Science Lab 

Gayle Thomas

Once the students enter through the door of the science room, they are encouraged to feel like real scientists!  We practice using scientific vocabulary everyday, and they are influenced to use it outside the classroom too.  In science lab students are involved with hands-on science activities.  We learn about weather, water cycle, rock cycle, space, ecology, living things, habitats, systems of the human body, force and motion, magnets, and many, many other topics related to science.  Students are also introduced to and learn how to use many scientific instruments such as thermometers, scales, graduated cylinders, and timers.
