Wow! We've learned a lot since our last post. Here's what we've been up to the past couple weeks.
After a fun study focusing on communities, we took a break from our Social Studies curriculum and started a new Science unit on Matter.
What is Matter?
Everything around us is made up of Matter. Matter can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
If you click on the link below, you can watch a short scholastic video that explains it all a little better.
Our first lesson had the students acting as the molecules in solids, liquids, and gases. Next, we created a tri-fold book to demonstrate our understanding, which also included a quick sorting activity.
Our second lesson involved some experimentation with changing states of matter through cooling and heating. After our experiments, we watched a music video on the changing states of matter. By the end of the video, we were all singing along.
We were still singing it today!
Over the next week or two, we'll have a little more fun with some messier experiments involving more changing states of matter. We'll try and keep everyone posted as we take more photos.
Don't forget that tomorrow is Anti-Bullying Day.
Remember to wear your pink t-shirts!

Could you share your trifold? I love your science ideas!
