Science The Week of January 25-January 29

This week in Science:

4th graders- Solid Earth: The Rock Cycle is the focus of our studies this week. Students will learn the 3 different types of rocks; Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic; and what happens to each rock while going through each stage of the cycle. We will also spend some time watching the rock cycle using the computers on our wireless cart.

5th graders- Water Planet: The Water Cycle is the focus of our studies this week. Students will learn how a water molecule moves through the 5 stages in the water cycle. We will learn how water is disturbed on the planet and how we can reuse water. We will also spend some time watching the water cycle using the computers on our wireless cart. If the weather is cooperating, we will learn how the temperature outside affects water and soil temperatures.


Donations needed: In the next few weeks students will need newspaper, 1/2 liter bottles (clear) and vinegar for several experiments. Please leave them at school or contact me if you are able to donate any of these materials linsay_klim@berkeley.k12.ca.us
