How does water flow?

In science we have started learning about how technology has changed the world. We began the chapter with an experiment. We learned how water flows through pipes. To start the chapter students first predicted, by looking at different picture, if the water would flow through all the way through the tube, some would stay in the tube, or it would not go out at all. We used a plastic tube and the students all took turns making it curve the different ways the pictures showed. Then they tested their predictions. They seemed to get almost everyone correct. The end results, water flows downward the best.

Stanley

Stanley came to visit from Niles, Illinois.  He spent the last month with us and each student was able to take Stanley home.  They had to write in his journal what Stanley did with them.  Enjoy the pictures of Stanley’s adventures.

Welcome Mats

The students created a welcome mat in religion to show that the Catholic Church welcomes everyone.

Moon Phases

To help understand how the moon changes daily the students did a fun project at home.  To begin they each had a black sheet of construction paper, white crayon, a big marshmallow, and instructions for the project.  We worked on this project for a month.  To begin they had to draw boxes on their black paper with their white crayon.  Every day they were given a big marshmallow and then at night they had to look at the moon and take a bite of the marshmallow to show how big the moon was.  A whole marshmallow was a full moon and when there was a new moon they left that box blank.  After taking a bite of their marshmallow they had to glue it on to the paper and write the date.  They all seemed to enjoy this project and it was a fun activity to help see how the moon changes.
