Slow & Steady Science Wins the Race

SAS First Graders Learning About Tortoises—and Thinking Like Scientists

Thursday, November 6th, 2025: Students in Mrs. Waite’s Syracuse Academy of Science's 1C class are diving into a science lesson all about tortoises. As they explore facts about these fascinating reptiles, they’re also practicing how to “talk like scientists” by using observation skills, asking questions, and applying academic vocabulary.

Hands-on learning like this helps young scholars build curiosity, confidence, and strong communication skills; one discovery at a time!
