Week of May 9-13
A peek into the 3rd grade...
The 3rd grade is having fun with science! Our students exercised their engineering skills when they tried to create their own structure that would protect an egg when it was dropped. Each student had access to recycled household materials like bubble wrap, sections of an egg carton, tissues, and plastic bags. They made their egg as secure as they could. Next, they went outside. Ms. Barcenas climbed a ladder and one by one she dropped everyone’s egg. Students observed and evaluated the results. Mrs. Crnichs’ students learned about chemical reactions by mixing a liquid (vinegar) with a powder (baking soda) in a recycled soda bottle to cause a reaction that produced a gas and blew up the balloon! Another experiment involved studying different substances that each contained a different amount of fat and how it affected food dye when we added drops of dish soap. We found that cream, with the most fat content at 3.5%, had the greatest effect on the food dye when dish soap was added.
Mrs. Godfrey’s class has been studying animal habitats. Students did a research project on an animal of their choice and created a digital story on tablets in Adobe Voice. Students will present their projects to the whole class starting next week. All 3rd graders have been working with our Right Brain Initiave clay artist to make clay animals. These animals still need to be glazed and fired. Students will bring their creations home at the end of the year.
We have also been studying biographies about important or significant people, and students are now giving short speeches to report about the important person they chose to study.
