Objective

I can share my science work using a short 3-sentence presentation and a mini-poster.

Materials

Mini-lesson — Sharing my science in 3 sentences

When we share our science, we tell others what we asked, what we did, and what we learned.

The 3-sentence science share:

  1. My question: What did I want to find out?
  2. What I did: What test, build, or try did I do?
  3. What I learned: What did I notice or discover?

What should my voice be like?

  • Use a clear, calm voice.
  • Point to the poster as you speak.
  • Speak slowly so others can understand.

Saying just three clear sentences helps everyone enjoy and understand your science work.
