Our Science Unit

Science is one of my favourite subjects. I like the way it gives everyone an opportunity to explore the world and the way it works. Our first science unit is on "Movement" and it touches on concepts of simple machines, mechanisms, how toys work, and also some aspects of how things operate and move to help us.

Our classroom has a science kit called Gadgets, Gears and Gizmos to help support this unit. Look for some pictures in the days to come.
