Sorting Science

This past week our second and third graders have been learning how to sort objects according to multiple different properties they may have. On the first day, the students were responsible for deciding how they would organize objects to properly pack them into three different sized boxes by simply looking at the object and making their best guess on which box it would fit in best. The following day, students behaved as scientists would and discovered, for sure this time, whether or not these objects would fit in which box by measuring each object.

Through this activity, students learned how to sort objects according to their size. They also learned how to correctly measure objects and decide whether or not they would fit in a specific space. Good job students!
