5.5- Shaping Earth's Surface
As an introduction to weathering, students predicted, experienced, and reflected on two differences way to "weather" a piece of chalk. If you would like to try out a variation of the lab we did in class, feel free to read through this lab activity.
5.4- Earthquakes
Seismic Waves- Ask your child about his primary and secondary wave demonstration done in class!

5.2- Continental Drift

Below is a link to a "triv" I created to review lessons 1 & 2 of chapter 5.
https://www.blubbr.tv/game/index.php?game_id=51124&org=0#.VCWnyGddWSo In order to better understand how evidence from various continents was used to first come up with the Theory of Continental Drift, students created their very own plate tectonic puzzle. We used techniques that we would use when putting together any jigsaw to combine our continents as they may have once been connected hundreds of millions of years ago. |
Scientific Method
In order to get more comfortable with the scientific method, both classes have designed their own experiment using random school supplies found in my drawer. As a class we have gone through each step of the scientific method. They will now work in groups to design and carry out their own experiment using "mystery items" given to them at random. They will work through this inquiry lab for the next few days.
Students carried out their designed experiments today. They showed scientific knowledge by recording and organizing data as well as writing a short conclusion. Ask your child about his experiment!
