Week 6

-

 This week we talked about flowers in class. We talked about what makes up flowers. Some parts are stigma, anther, filament, petal, and sepal. We checked on our fast plants and used dried bees to help pollinate. My plant is much sadder than everyone else in my class. Our as you can see from the picture is very small. We did get to observe someone else use the bees. They kinda grossed me out.

We then did a fun activity in class surrounding sea turtles! We got to read a book called Turtle, Turtle, Watch Out! This book talks about different obstacles sea turtles have to go through throughout their lives. Some facts I learned about sea turtles are that they take three days to get to the surface from their eggs, they have a special tooth to break their eggshell, they follow the light from the moon to get to the sea, and 1 out of 1,000 turtles survive to adulthood. We then switched to a game called fortune teller. With this, we listened to ocean sounds. I thought this activity was a lot of fun.  I think I can use this type of lesson in my future classroom. We could start with a book, and then play a fun game/worksheet. It would be a fun lesson to excite the students and help them learn.

    Hi Maggie!
    I also thought the turtle turtle activity was a lot of fun! I learned the same new facts about turtles and found them all to be very interesting! Great Job!

   1. What did you do in the lab?    2. What was the big question?  3. What did you learn in Thursday's discussion?  4. Read the online textbook, Chapter 5           1. What did you learn?            2. What was most helpful?           3. What do you need more information on?  5. What questions, concerns, and/or comments do you have?         I wasn't in the lab this week, but by looking at the PowerPoint, we were asked the question, "What is a rock?" We then looked over our Activitymania assignment. They discussed our assessment. They went over the dangers of comparison and went over some questions from the test. Then, they shifted to the layers of the earth, and we watched our videos about convection currents. They then did an investigation using a starburst, a torch, aluminum foil, and a knife/cheese grater. They created sedimentary...

We talked about the Goldfinch investigation and talked about how there is more flooding, which is destroying their food, so they are having to move. We then did an investigation of climate change. We had four different groups of two, and we all looked into five different articles. We looked for data to support that climate change is happening. We then thought of different questions from these articles and answered them. We also created...

Week 12

 This week we continued our talk on matter. We came up with properties of matter, and said that color, density, shape, height, texture, odor, and weight/mass were all properties. We then did five experiments with different matter small vs big to see if they each float or sink, have the same volume, same mass, conduct electricity, and if they would be attracted to a magnet. We got to choose five pieces. My group chose a cork, aluminum foil, a candle, chalk, and a marble.   Sink or Float?:  We recorded that the chalk and marble of both sizes sank. Everything else floated. We did notice that the smaller chalk floated for a bit but then sank.  Same Volume?:  We recorded that the candles were the only one that had the same volume. Same Mass?:   We recorded that they all had different masses.   Conduct electricity?:   The saw that the aluminum foil big and small were conductors of electricity.  Magnetic?:  None of them were...
