Science the week of April 25-29

4th graders- Magnetism and Electricity: We are continuing to use our circuit bases with electromagnets this week. We will also learn how telegraphs work and create our own telegraph using the circuit bases.

5th graders- Science state testing review: This week we are focusing on the earth science unit in 4th grade. We will also spend the week before testing using the computers to review what we have learned this year by visiting links on the blog.

Science the week of April 18-April 22

SCIENCE NIGHT
THURSDAY APRIL 21!!!

Come by the auditorium from 6-8pm on Thursday to dissect a frog, use a microscope, watch a chemical reaction, play with an electromagnet, and more!!!
I hope to see everyone there!!


4th graders- Magnetism and Electricity: We are continuing to use our circuit bases this week. We are integrating electromagnets into our lessons this week, learning how electromagnets bring electricity and magnetism together.

5th graders- Science state testing review: This week we are focusing on the life science unit in 4th grade. We will review vocabulary and experiments about food webs, habitats, and ecosystems.

Science the week of April 11-April 15

4th graders- Magnetism and Electricity: This week we are running motors using our circuit bases. We will continue to learn about the flow of electricity to light lightbulbs and run a motor. We will also start learning about series and parallel circuits

5th graders- Science state testing review: This week we are focusing on the physical science unit in 4th grade. We will review vocabulary and experiments about magnets, electricity, and electromagnets.
