We did technically start learning about magnets today, but I just had one more simple machine activity I had to squeeze in. :) First we quickly reviewed the six simple machines we studied last week. Then the students worked with a partner to read through 30 examples (Yes 30! And they were so engaged! Science I tell ya') of various simple machines and decide as a group which one it was. Next they went on a scavenger hunt around the classroom to search for he answers. Each question had a card assigned to it with the information they needed to be sure their answers' were correct. My teacher heart is extremely happy to see my students collaborating so well together and reading informational text so closely. Way to go second graders!
