I am so excited that Fall is here! Our room has been much more pleasent without having to turn the air on and off ALL day! I'm sure your students can agree that we are no long freeeezing in our room!
We finished our Texas projects and teamed up with a partner to create posters to teach our classmates about National Holidays. Here are some of our posters in-progress!
Tuesday, we will present our Holiday posters and begin talking about American Symbols!
In Science, we learned about systems and what materials are necessary to build a good structure. Each table group did their best to create a sturdy structure using just marshmallows and toothpicks. Each group did their best to create a tall tower. We learned that we need strong materials, team work, and most importantly a strong base to support the whole thing!
We also talked about states of matter the last few weeks by doing some fun experiments. We used a file to see if we could change the shape of a solid - in this case, we tried to change a sugar cube into a sugar sphere!
We also made JELLO so that we could observe a solid changing from a liquid to a solid - unfortunately some of our JELLO didn't congeal in our classroom refrigerator - but we had the opportunity to talk about what SHOULD have happened and how sometimes experiments don't work out like they should!
