What's The Matter With Third Grade?
Third graders reviewed properties of matter at eight different science stations. They used iPads to check their classifying of objects using QR codes, created a "matter menu" using the Educreations app, and used an ebook about matter to look for information about nonfiction text features. The desktops were used to work on vocabulary by using an online dictionary. Students used their senses to describe the properties of Oobleck.
