In Mrs. Fallad's 1st-grade science class, students are diving into the world of observation and prediction as they explore how materials change with heating and cooling. This hands-on lesson encourages young learners to think critically about everyday materials and how they respond to temperature changes.
Through these experiments, students also gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts like reversible and irreversible changes, solid-to-liquid transformations, and the importance of accurate observation.
Mrs. Fallad emphasizes the importance of making predictions based on prior knowledge, which helps build the foundation for more complex scientific reasoning in later grades. The class ends with a reflection on their findings, and students leave eager for their next exploration into the exciting world of science. This engaging lesson fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for the processes at work in everyday life.
