One of our first lessons in Science is about scientists. It comes after
our lessons over Science Tools and Lab Safety. ALL of us are scientists! When students
are exploring the world around them – they are scientists! In primary grades,
we explore the basics of what being a scientist means. We explore the different
ways that they use their body to explore the world around them. One of their
favorite projects is drawing themselves as scientists. I always draw an example of myself as an
example…
Safety goggles are a MUST! Remember to dress as a scientist would
dress. I also have them label their scientists to show me how they can use
their bodies to explore in Science. These are always some of the first pictures
that we display in the hallway for the school year.
I was especially excited to start this unit this year because I revised
my entire “What is a Scientist Unit.” It is much more teacher and student
friendly! You can find it in the link below.
