Field Trip to the Science Lab

We are so lucky! We get to go to the science lab every Friday! We had a lesson this week where we learned about the jobs of a scientist and the tools that they use. In the lab today we rotated to different stations where we got to use some of the tools that a scientist uses.

In this first picture we are using eyedroppers to make new colors in our test tubes. Check out our neat safety goggles!
At this station we did some work with balances and gram stackers.

This station centered around the use of hand lenses. We got to look at some really neat rocks and shells.

We were measuring the temperature differences between hot water and water with an ice cube in it.

This center had microscopes and slider scopes. Under the microscope we saw a flea, a piece of newsprint, and salt. They looked so neat!!
