The city, as an ecosystem, is an ideal
classroom for science. Scientists in the city are students, teachers,
families, and science enthusiasts around the world who are investigating
the interaction of the natural and manmade worlds. Become a scientist in
your own "city" by using these resources, communicating with
other "cities," and joining the collaborative. Throughout the
school year, scientists will investigate their own school, their
neighborhood, and their city. Join other city scientists and,
collectively, investigate the great big ecosystem called Earth. Franklin

Owl Pellets
What are owl pellets? The pellets that we
study in the classroom are the end products of an owl’s digestive

those made by owls tend to be the most complete, and therefore the best
for the study of food chains and food webs.

Simple Machines
In science, work is defined as a force
acting on an object to move it across a distance. Pushing, pulling, and
lifting are common forms of work. Furniture movers do work when they
move boxes. Gardeners do work when they pull weeds. Children do work
when they go up and down on a see-saw. Machines make their work easier.
The furniture movers use a ramp to slide boxes into a truck. The
gardeners use a hand shovel to help break through the weeds. The
children use a see-saw to go up and down. The ramp, the shovel, and the
see-saw are simple machines.

on appreciating poetry — reading, discussing, and enjoying poems —
rather than on the writing of original poetry. Several of the lessons
emphasize the pleasure in the words and sounds of poems as place to
begin — reminding students that poetry is art, and that it is
satisfying and exciting to discover a poem that enthralls you and to
say it in your own voice.
