After our introduction lesson about science. I decided to explore what and who a scientist is with the kids. I started of by drawing a scientist on the white board, we read What is a scientist by Barbara lehn. This is a good go along book to introduce what and who a scientist is.
After reading this book we did some brainstorming. I asked the kids three questions to help guide them to the write answers.
1. A scientist is...
2. A scientist can...
3. A scientist has...
Using those statements they were able to fill in the blanks and come up with many answers to fill our chart.
Lastly I had the kids make their own scientist to put into their science journals.

Idea for this lesson came from First Grade Parade.
This is really adorable! Love the pop up book and your drawings on the board!
