Week of December 9 - 13

Here's what we did in the Science Lab this week:

• Kindergarten & 4th grade: We didn't have school on Monday and Tuesday this week, due to a surprise snow day!
• 1st grade: We made wind vanes and learned how to use them to find out how hard the wind is blowing.
• 2nd grade: We started a two-week project over pendulums. Ask your second grader what the investigation question was this week.
• 3rd grade: We concluded our two-week volcano project today by building volcanoes and making them "erupt."

Upcoming Events:

• December 17: 4th graders will investigate a "mystery substance" during Science Lab. If your student is allergic to cornstarch, please contact me ASAP. Thanks!
• January 7th: 4th graders are doing a matter activity that involves different kinds of fruit: grapes, plums oranges, apples, pears, grapefruits, peaches, and strawberries. We will not be eating the fruit, but we will be touching it. If your child needs to avoid any of the above-mentioned fruits, please contact me.
