Thank you for coming to Cloverbuddies.<br />
<br />
Did you enjoy learning about the design process that scientist use to solve problems? Do you remember what we call a scientist who makes things?<br />
<br />
We call them an ENGINEER!<br />
<br />
Can you find MAN MADE and NATURAL things in your house? I can! In our house we have:<br />
<br />
-Plants<br />
-Water in our sink<br />
- a Guinea Pig!<br />
<br />
All of those are NATURAL, meaning they come from nature. We sure have a lot of man made stuff too. Things like<br />
<br />
-Clothing<br />
-Furniture<br />
- Cars<br />
<br />
They might have things that come from nature in them (like cotton in our clothing) but they were put together by people, so they are MAN MADE.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Looking forward to seeing you at 4:30 this Thursday!</span>Gretchenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04306236617481784007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928480166148197250.post-10726134911909483892014-10-28T13:31:00.000-07:002014-11-01T13:32:25.542-07:00What is a scientist?<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Clover Buddie friends!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had so much fun getting to know at our first meeting! I loved making discoveries and learning about science with you! Do you remember what we learned?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We learned that scientists ask questions, and that the fancy word for that is "inquiry"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We learned that a scientist observes using their five senses and predicts what might happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We learned that a scientists uses tools to help there five senses gather information.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We learned that a scientist compares and classifies, which is a fancy way of saying that scientist sort.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We made books that talked about our 5 senses. We compared and classified a delicious snack. We used tools to better understand things we were discovering. We tried to predict what was in a box using only our sense of touch. I am so glad you came to learn!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<i style="background-color: #93c47d;">"The 4-H Cloverbud project is designed specifically for children 5-year old/Kindergarten through 2nd grade. 4-H Cloverbud programs are developmentally appropriate, activity-focused and built on cooperative learning. The primary difference between a 4-H Cloverbud activity and a 4-H Project area is that the member engages in varied activities with focus on developing a specific skill or concept utilized in completing the activity, rather than focusing on a long-term planned course of study in a specific subject area.</i></div>
