Instrument Making
This group of first graders (and one kindergartener) studied sound. Their engineering task after their study was to create an instrument that would play more than one pitch. Here they are playing their instruments as an orchestra:
Flowers in Second Grade
Second graders are learning all about flowers and pollinators. First they dissected flowers. Then they studied the features of specific pollinators and flowers to determine what makes a flower attractive to a particular pollinator. Below the photos is some of their writing.
Birds would be attracted to flower A. Flower A is tube-shaped. Birds use their beaks to reach inside flowers. Flower A blooms during the daytime. Birds visit flowers during the daytime. Flower A points down. Birds do not rest on the petals to eat. That's why birds would like flower A.

Bats would like Flower F. Those flowers have a strong musky smell and they bloom during the nighttime. Bats are nocturnal so they would like night bloomers. Flower F is big so a bat can rest on it while it gets the nectar. Bats like white flowers because they are visible during the night. Bats are also attracted to the strong musky smell of Flower F. That's why bats like Flower F.

Flies are attracted to Flower D. Those flowers have a rotten and odious smell. Flies lay eggs on rotten and odious smells. Those flowers bloom during the day. That's why flies would like D.
