Getting Started With Science Portfolios (3-5): What Is Science? Throughout the year, we’ll be working as scientists do. Before we begin any major science activities, I’d like to know what your ideas are about science. What does a scientist look like? What does science look, sound and feel like? How will you know if you are really “doing” science? I’d like you to draw or write your ideas. Then, we’ll talk about how your ideas are the same and how they are different. You’ll keep these in your science portfolios, and I’ll ask you this question again at the end of the school year. It will be interesting to see if your ideas change or expand in any way.
