It was a joy being in your class today!!!.

To review 4th grade life science benchmarks, we used interactive learning and journaling to help the learning stick! A Plants Life game is so much fun to play with friends and we learned so much from dissecting a hibiscus flower! @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918 @EMETweets

Another Long Term Investigation started @EMETweets this week! How does a plant respond to growing upside down? We wrote materials used, procedure followed so our investigation can be replicated and made our first observation and prediction. @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

How does a change in an environment affect the plant population? @rcepride 5th graders use a simulation game to explore the answer! “When the water changes, the plants lose a habitat component. They start to die.” Such insightful conclusions! @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

5th grade scientists collaborate to test the impact friction has on the distance a Jeep travels. While they wait for their turn at lab, they play review benchmark games and fill in a Nature of Science chart about their forces labs. @EMETweets @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

5th graders learn how organisms respond to a changing habitat with a simulation game called Saltwater Survival. They were so engaged they didn’t realize how much time had passed! @rcepride @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

Does the mass of an object impact how it reacts to the pull of gravity? We made explored and created possible questions last week and this week we made predictions and worked through an experiment. Analyzing our data is next! @EMETweets @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

We had a lot going on this week @EMETweets! We investigated how forces to create our own questions to text in next weeks experiments and learned some new center games for reviewing prior skills. @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

Observing the life cycle of a butterfly, using a solar cooker for hot dogs and investigating insulators and conductors on a circuit…whew! What a whirlwind two days @EMETweets !! So exhausting but SO fun! @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

Mrs. V’s @EMETweets 5th graders know nature is in “balance” but is constantly changing as they play “Oh Deer” from @ProjectWILD. Can the deer find their food, water and shelter in the environment? @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

What do you do after district testing? Interactive review sorts for prior year standards! They are having so much fun with this “game”! @EMETweets @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

College Park 5th graders practiced test taking strategies with Plickers before the district science assessment. They had a blast thinking it was a game & we didn’t have to bring out the chromebooks to review 4 quick questions! @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918 @collegeparkelem

Learning how an electrically charged object can attract and repel other charged objects can be so much fun!You should have heard the giggles in this investigation! @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918 @EMETweets

5th graders review SC.4.P.11.1 - how thermal energy is transferred from hot to cold until there is a balance. We saw the Second Law of Thermodynamics in action before we even know what it’s called!! @EMETweets @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

What a busy day @EMETweets!! We closed out one LTI and write other questions we could explore as an experiment, then started a new LTI to review 3rd and 4th grade skills and played Plickers to review before the 3 day weekend! @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

How awesome to start my day with TWO groups of Transformation Schools admin in the same place! Mr Jacobs and Dean Smith visited East Marion 5th graders this morning. @EMETweets @LakeWeirMiddle @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

5th graders at East Marion are so excited to explore their energy inquiry boxes that they just can’t stay in their seats! How many forms of energy can you find in your box? Can you name them and explain how energy transforms? @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918 @EMETweets

Active Thinking and Long Term Investigations help the young scientists at @College_Park_El think critically and practice Nature of Science skills.@KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

Another LTI started this week in Mrs. Vandeventer’s class @EMETweets! We created a solution of sugar and water and will observe to see what happens when the water evaporates over time. Great conversation about Nature of Science concepts!! @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918

We reviewed lab safety (including wafting to smell), measuring volume and how to record observations with our lab partners during our chemical change investigation. Pancakes were the treat afterward! @EMETweets @KinardsConnect1 @Ashley51869918
