Writers are scientists? Scientists are writers?

The I'm baaaaaaccck! And super happy to be 😊 we are diving into new units in every core subject, but my absolute favorite new unit, is our new writing unit. We are learning how to write like scientists and write lab reports. That's right....scientists are writers and quite organized writers, at that. 

Our first lesson was more of a guided inquiry into how scientists write. We came up with a question we wanted to test and we conducted a detailed experiment, while at the same time being sure to document every step, every material we needed, and what each step looked like. Our testable question was: 

will the little car go farther off the ramp on carpet or bare floor? 

It was SUPER fun and SUPER informational! We learned a lot about the structure of a lab report and lots of science about force and motion. Ask your child what they learned! 😃🚗📝
