First graders investigated which items were attracted to magnets and which were not. They were challenged to find metal that was not attracted. Fifth graders built a mountain out of Lego's. They then weathered the mountain by taking a Lego (sediment) and crab walking (eroding) the sediment. Finally they placed it on another base plate ( deposition). Fourth graders are reviewing their simple machines and investigating how the height of an incline plane affects motion. Second graders are investigating balance, motion and friction by creating tops. The challenge is to get your top to spin the longest. Students in fourth grade are answering the question: Does the number of rubber band windings affect the distance the Rolling Racer will travel? They discovered more windings equaled more potential energy. Students read about mealworms. Then they observed the mealworms. After class, they will take the aquarium of mealworms to observe their metamorphosis Who remembers this? We are learning how force affects the change in position using our paper footballs! |
