Science Information Books

In the last month, as a First Grade team we worked on Science Information Books about Liquids, Solids, and Gases. One of our recent experiments was making snow ice cream. We investigated what components we needed to make snow ice cream. As I introduced the students to snow, vanilla abstract, sugar, salt and milk we started to classify within liquids, solids, and gases which ingredient would fall where. We continued the discussion as we added each ingredient to make the snow ice cream and of course, taste test it! The following day we wrote the science information book upon the topic. It was an enjoyable experience had by all!
