Can You Teach An Old Rabbit New Tricks?

The Crown Point Elementary Science Fair is starting this week . . . and my students had a blast with our class science project, "Can you teach an old rabbit new tricks?".

After deciding to use Bailey in our science project, we spent a week researching fun facts and common myths about rabbits. Next we brainstormed several possible experiments . . . and teaching Bailey to go through a maze without making any mistakes was the clear winner! Based on our research on rabbits, and what we knew about Bailey, we recorded how many tries each of us thought it would take Bailey to get through the maze without making any mistakes. 

Our results . . .

Our hypothesis . . .

Our observations & data . . .

 

Our conclusion . . .

The finished project . . .

I am SO-SO-SO proud of my first graders!! They did all the research, recorded our observations and data, colored and titled our science board information, and wrote out all our research on the "Rabbits can-have-are" charts for our research and data science project binder.

Be sure to visit the Crown Point Elementary Science Fair this week to see all our hard work, and to support ALL the young brilliant scientists at our school! :)
