Art City Third Grade Sees Nature First Hand

Submitted by julia.murray on
Art City third grade classes had the opportunity to go to Brigham Young University to the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum and also to Bridal Veil Falls to see what they could find that was living and nonliving.   As the third grade teachers teach core standards they hope to give students, "the opportunity to use their senses as they feel the warmth of the sun on their face, watch the moon as it seems to move through broken clouds, sort and arrange their favorite rocks, look for patterns in rocks and flowers, observe a snail move ever so slowly up the side of a terrarium, test materials for slipping and sliding, measure the speed of rolling objects, and invent ways to resist gravity. They should come to enjoy science as a process of learning about the world.”  What a great day for our third graders!(From UEN.org).#ArtCityEagles #ArtCityElementary #AwesomeEagles #MindSet #thirdgrade  #DiscoverPowerWithin #NeboHero #NeboSchoolDistrict #StudentSuccess #EmpowerStudents #EngageStudents #FocusOnStudents #LoveUTpublicSchools #UtPol #UtEd #ThankATeacher #LoveTeaching
