Q4 Science Tracker
Below is what students are responsible for completing in Science for the last Quarter. We have already completed learning about the Galaxy and have begun the Solar System.
Learning About the Body
Students who are done with all their projects so far are working on Flying Colors including labelling the bones and/or muscles and putting together body puzzles. Ask your child if they know where their hamstring or calf muscle is located!
Muscles Video
The class really enjoyed this Muscles Video, so I thought I would share it, in case they would like to watch it again or in case anyone was absent… We read about muscles, watched this video, played Muscles Simon Says, and also made a muscle, haha (out of paper). The video made us laugh a lot about our Gluteus Maximus. Ask your child about their favorite muscle!
Science Projects
We are about half way through our unit on the Human Body. Right now we are finishing up Muscles and will start the Nervous System next week. Students brought home the form below describing their final projects for Science.
If you click on the link above, you will find a link to all the project forms. Please print out the form you need for the project your child has chosen. If you need help printing, please let me know at least a week before the project is due. If you choose the Handwashing Experiment– I have some extra Petri Dishes. The first to email me, get them:) Otherwise, see purchase instructions on the link above.
Below is the Project Tracker, which shows all the projects your child is responsible for completing to receive an Outstanding Grade. All projects are in class, except for the Final Project.
Matter Rap
Thank you to everyone who made it out for our Matter Rap Performance. The class did such a great job… they blew me away too! I hope those of you who weren’t able to come, enjoy this video of your hardworking kids. A big thank you to Dan Vaught and Peter Howson for being our Videographers. We have already begun our new unit on The Body. This week we will focus on the Muscles.
Dynomite Dinosaur Dig!
We had a Dynamite Dinosaur Dig this past Friday, thanks to our amazing Parent Helpers who helped me organize, set up, take down and drive. Our student paleontologists were hard workers and were able to find all the bones for 4 different dinosaurs! We brought them back to the “Museum” or classroom and the students were able to reassemble the bones into their correct formations. Plus we got to celebrate with a Hot Cocoa Reading Party, visit with the lifeguards and celebrate Dash’s birthday… WHAT A DAY!
Safari Park Field Trip
We had a great field trip to the Safari Park last Monday. Students got to experience the Savannah/Grasslands in person and see several animals from that habitat. Thank you to our Parent Chaperones who drove that day! We are grateful for your help!
Habitat Projects
Students did an amazing job with their first projects of the year! They showed how much they learned about each habitat. We had a great time learning from each other during presentations.
