Classifying and Sorting

Today we focused on science skills. We reviewed sorting and classifying items using properties of matter. We sorted shapes, science supplies, and finally candy. The students enjoyed using a variety of characteristics to classify my Fourth of July parade candy. We learned that properties of matter can be a useful way to sort many objects. Our real life sorting objective was to pick materials that we could use to build a house. We discovered that properties do make a difference when it comes to certain jobs.
