This Week in Science November 2-November 5

4th graders- Magnetism and Electricity: We will start the week with a quiz on Electromagnets. We will then start our last investigation in Magnetism and Electricity, which is focusing on Telegraphs. We will learn the history of telegraphs and find out how we can build our own telegraph in class.

5th graders- Mixtures and Solutions: We are going to spend the week finishing our posters about the different families on the periodic table of elements. Each group will also do a small presentation to the class showing what they have learned about their family.


In two weeks the 5th graders will be looking at the chemical makeup of different food items. I need empty boxes for the students to read the ingredients list. The following is a list of product boxes that will be helpful:
-Sport drinks
-cereal boxes
-multivitamins
-energy bars
-condiments
-chips
-toothpaste
