This week in the lab...
kindergartners learned about the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Students observed three balloons, each containing a different state of matter, and they had to determine which had the solid, which had the liquid, and which had the gas. Then, we opened them to find out if our predictions were correct! Next, students watched a BrainPopJr. video about the three states of matter. Because of the shortened week, kindergartners did not go to technology time this week.
First graders learned about thermometers and how to use them to determine what the temperature is. Students made predictions, then found the temperature of cold water, and hot water. Then students predicted what the temperature would be if they mixed the hot water with the cold water, and finally they tested it to see how close their predictions were to the actual temperature. During technology time, students began making their Animal Covering PowerPoint using microsoft PowerPoint. Students learned how to open a PowerPoint and save it. Then, students created their Title slide.
Second graders learned about animal that lay eggs. Students played a matching game, and then competed for prized with the knowledge they gained during the matching game. During technology time, students continued to write their inferences for their interactive game.
Due to the shortened week, there was no STEM Academy. Next week, students will find out who borrowed Mr. Bear!
Well, that's what's happening this week at 260 Cedar Road. I'm off to go camping. I hope you all have a wonderful 3-day weekend. I'll see you next week! Until next time, stay class Casita...
