Students in Samantha Stansell’s Washington Center class are learning how to be scientists! Exploring the world around them using the Attainment Science Curriculum, students are engaged in story books, science investigations and hands on comprehension activities. During the month of September, the class is learning about their five senses. Activities include creating a rainbow using a prism and flashlight, identifying different textures, listening and creating sounds, smelling and tasting sweet and salty treats. Throughout the year, students will also learn about the rock cycle, earth and sky, and life cycles of plants and animals as a part of the curriculum.
