Welcome to November 2010

Hello 4th and 5th grade students!
Welcome back to the 2010/2011 school year at Rosa Parks Environmental Magnet School. This blog will be your at home link to websites, games, pictures, newsflashes and your voices. Visit it often to give opinions on experiments, outside connections and interesting information you would like to share.
We have spent time on scientific sketching, observational skills, food chain, food web, worm anatomy and all the organisms that need to make that wormbin a healthy environment.
Fourth graders are Geologists now, studying rocks and how a geologist takes apart rocks to learn about the minerals inside.
Fifth graders are Biologists. They are studying life, and what all living things need to stay alive. The smallest organism which needs water, nutrients, gas exchange and waste disposal is a cell. We know that humans are multicellular oganisms with systems working together in our bodies to make sure their basic needs, the cells, are met.
I am so happy to be working with you this year!
Ms. Ingley
