The first graders at Carson Elementary STEAM Magnet have been studying plant life as part of their exploration of science. They have been asked to use their observational skills to examine the parts of a plant. They are observing the roots of weeds, sketching the root structures they observe, measuring the weed, and recording whether it took a one, two, or three level of strength to pull the weed.
As they observe they engage in the inquiry process. Ideas and questions around their research begin to bubble up and spark critical thinking. The goal of our STEAM experiences is to promote learning that is hands-on and honors each student's line of thinking!
