PS4.B Electromagnetic Radiation
1-PS4-3
Second Grade-STEM Activity:
“Build a house that cannot be blown down by the wind from a hair dryer”
Day 2- Create & Test, Improve, Present
I can demonstrate application of properties of materials by designing and building a house using the Engineering Design process(Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create & Test, Improve, Present).
Constraints:
*Use only materials provided
(Legos, toothpicks and marshmallows, craft sticks and tape/aluminum foil, clay, pattern blocks)
*Must stay upright when blow dryer (wind) is applied.
*Pig must fit inside the house.
I can draw a plan of how I will design and build my house and explain how the properties of the materials I am using will be helpful (Use plan sheet). I can reflect on what worked and what needed improvement.
Vocabulary: properties, strength, strong, flexible,

PS4.C Wave Properties
Fifth Grade- continuation of last week
I can demonstrate comprehension of gravity by exploring with 3 gravity experiments:
Activity 1- Feather and Hammer (dropped at same height and time)
What happens when done on the Earth?
What happens when done on the moon?
Activity 2-”Weightlessness”-Water in a cup with holes ( dropped together )
Will the water fall out faster than the cup hitting the ground?
What happened? Why?
**Activity 3- Various size balls (dropped at same height and time in a tub of sand)
Does size or mass change what happens when dropped?
What did you observe?
I can write at least 3 facts that I learned about gravity.
Sentence Stems:
I learned that gravity______________________________.
Another thing is that gravity________________________________.
Gravity is _____________________________________________
Vocabulary: force, gravity, pull, weight, inertia, mass, air resistance, impact
PS2.B Types of Interactions
