Wednesday my school was closed due to a snow day, so I only went to my field teaching one day this week. The kids spent most of their time while I was there doing literacy & reading, so I didn't see much science. However, one instance of science that is an everyday occurrence in the classroom happens during their "afternoon message", when that week's chosen "weather person" reports on the weather to the rest of the class (weather it is snowing, raining, sunny, cloudy, or foggy), and records his or her observation on a chart. At the end of every month, the class counts up how many days each type of weather was observed and puts it on a larger chart that represents the entire school year. For such a young grade, this is a great way to get kids active and involved in science, and it is just one way to show how science is a part of everyday life. This everyday classroom happening could lead to a bigger unit covering the basics of weather for the class. Another idea could be to talk about snow and how it is formed, especially right after the snow day.
