We started our first Science Unit, Collecting and Examining Life this past week. We talked about what scientists do and then we put those skills to use! We looked at two different substances to try to determine which one was living. We then placed our two substances in salt water and waited to see what would happen. On Friday, we looked back at our substances and discovered little "things" moving around in the water. After using our "proscope" microscope we discovered that this living thing looked like it had a tail, moved fast through the water and was very tiny. After recording our findings in our science notebooks, we discovered that these living things were brine shrimp! We can't wait for our crickets to arrive soon so we can put our new skills to use again.
