Firsthand Learning

@wingerrtgg @readygrowgarden @ZlatichJessica @k_rdameron @CFISDWalker What were some of the learnings and #observations ? 🐛

These student gardeners were thrilled with their investigations today. @readygrowgarden @ZlatichJessica @k_rdameron @CFISDWalker

Hey, @FHLearn! Check out Kindergarteners using a science notebook for the first time with sunflowers! Tools of a scientist are so important.👏🏻👏🏻

OBSERVATION: Bee 🐝 not moving in flower MY QUESTION: Do bees sleep in flowers? AN ANSWER: Bees can sleep in flowers anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. #inquiry #learning #nature #bee @swgardens @SciSocWeston

We love seeing these observations and illustrations from students in the field #nature ✍️

@FHLearn I love starting off the year with First Grade Scientists. They are doing their first observation of the year on their class tree - a Redbud. Lots of great observations and questions.

@SciSocWeston Great observations and descriptions of trees 🌳 during the different seasons. 🍃 #inquiry #learning

Nothing makes me happier than seeing student science writing hanging in the hallways. @FHLearn

@FHLearn Grade one scientists do a comparison of the Sweet Gum tree and the Chestnut tree.

Yes, we also love 💕 seeing these observations of student #data and prototype designs. #inquiry #learning

@FHLearn Yes, it’s pothole season again. 4th grade students are hard at work designing solutions for these hazards!

We’re excited to be part of the @PPGBuffalo community to discuss themes such as #education & environmental learning opportunities with groups across WNY 📖 @MassAveProject @GGWNY ppgbuffalo.org/who-we-are/par…

So back to the reality of writing yet another self study report. But luckily, my first grade scientist friend, who has set up an investigation on what will happen to these leaves if left on my desk. He noticed all sorts of cracks and that they were getting smaller.

Look around & observe. Even in the largest urban cities we find nature as part of our own “backyards.” youtube.com/shorts/PNje2yU… What questions do you have about this creature 🦎 ? #student #inquiry

We’re so proud to see our journals in use with so many #students and educators with @MassAudubon 🍂 🍁

Science of Massachusetts is a new program developed by @MassAudubon educators to teach #inquiry science using nature. Nature #journaling encourages children to get outside, ask #questions , explore curiosity and begin to see themselves as scientists youtu.be/w44BypgHUNA
