This week in 2nd grade we explored the skill of observation during science. We learned about the man who used microscopes to observe things around him...most notably the discovery of bacteria and germs. (Bonus points for anyone who can name this man WITHOUT using the internet!) Students used our magnifying glasses to observe something in our classroom that they had never seen before. They were surprised to find out that the table top had speckles of different color, there was dirt where they couldn't see it with their "naked eye" (the term for not using tools to help us see), dust on the tissue box, and texture on paper. They wrote their observation down in their science notebook, just like the man in our read aloud. It's so fun exploring the world the God made and to find the surprises he leaves for us to observe.
Take time today to observe something new in your environment....you don't always need a magnifying glass to find surprises from God around us. This could even be a fun family activity to do at dinner or on a walk around your neighborhood. Share a picture here of your observations.
