Balance and Motion!



We have been having a wonderful time exploring balance and motion! Last week students experimented with balance points and counter weights while trying to balance a paper crayfish on only one finger! This week we continuing to use counter weights while attempting to balance arches and triangles in stable positions.

Students have also been practicing Writing like Scientists! We have been using phrases like I observed… The evidence shows… I predict… and I noticed… Students are learning that when they make a prediction or a claim they must back it up with evidence or observations. Our science notebooks are really coming along! 

Make sure to ask your student about their hard work in science!
