🌰🌱🌳Our 3rd grade has been immersed in an integrated life science study. Students completed a model of a botany field science study during a field experience at Buzzard’s Roost. In classrooms, they prepared for and built from experiences to practice math, literacy and science standards. 🥼Using the scientific method and pill bugs, students explored their inherited traits science standard with a hands on lab. And, after 3 years of training in the engineering design process at Chillicothe Primary, students collaborated to design creative solutions to a challenge related to seed dispersal. 🌰🌳
What a fun, in depth learning experience for our Intermediate School learners!
