Science Homework 9/28 - Leaf Collection


Dear Young Scientists:

Last week we started to learn how scientists work. All good scientists use scientific methods to plan and conduct theirstudies. This involves making observations as well as asking questions, investigating, calculating, comparing, classifying, experimenting, and communicating. To learn more about how scientists compare or classify objects, we will do a fun activity in class with autumn leaves.
Your assignment is to collect 5 to 10 leaves from your yard or neighborhood. I ask that you mostly look for leaves that have fallen from trees instead of picking leaves off trees or plants. Try to find as many different kinds of leaves that you can and put them in the bag to bring to school. On Monday, we will work in groups to compare and classify our items.

Thank you for your hard work; happy collecting!

Ms. Coffman
