3/15/2020 0 Comments Pictures from March 2-6We had a busy week before spring break! On Monday, we made models of specific molecules with gumdrops and toothpicks for our Matter unit. Wednesday was Glow Day! First, the students solved math problems with area of rectangles, squares, triangles, and parallelograms including decimals and fractional sides. They also calculated radius and diameter measurements of circles. Once they solved the problems correctly, they received index cards to see who could build the tallest tower. For reading, they had to work with a partner to find and highlight text evidence in Bud, Not Buddy to prove one of the book's four themes. In science, the students made a Bohr model of neon showing the protons, neutrons, and electrons in their shells. Then we investigated chemiluminescence and how adding or taking away energy affects atoms and molecules. We put glow sticks in hot and cold water and observed the effects. It was a very fun day! On Friday, the students started their March "Math Madness" challenge. While we won't be able to complete the challenge as planned now, I'm glad they had the chance to at least participate in the first activity.
