Monster Blood?

Here are fifth graders trying to figure out if Monster Blood is a solid or a liquid. What do you think?

Hello Fourth Graders!

Hello 4th graders. This is our first time using a blog to communicate! Let's think about some of the experiments we have done in the classroom with our rocks and minerals. Your first post will be to tell everyone some of the things you have learned and found most interesting. Here are some of experiments we have done: Mock rocks; crystals; evaporation; properties; minerals; hardness.

Weather (Hydrologic cycle link)

Fifth Graders,

We have been studying the water cycle and ways in which condensation, evaporation and precipitation work and how they can change their states of matter depending on the temperature around the water molecule. We also saw that surface area plays a role in how quickly water can evaporate when much of it is exposed to the air. Now we will become a Meteorologist! (You already are one actually.) Meteorology is the study of weather and a Meteorologist is someone who studies weather.

These are some of the vocabulary words we will be learning as Meteorologists:

Evaporation

Condensation

Precipitation

Gas

Liquid

Heat

Energy

Physical Change

Wind

Air

High Pressure

Low Pressure

Density

Molecules

Balance
