New This Week!

This week, upper elementary students will be taking home an experiment to practice going through the scientific method.  3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will take home the Gummy Bear Lab and bring their results back next week.

PROCEDURE

1.  Label the two cups with the name of the liquid.  One cup must contain water.  Students can choose what they want to put in the other cup.

2.  Place one gummy bear in each of the cups.

3.  After two days, observe what is happening to the gummy bears.  Record your observations.

4.  After two more days, observe your gummy bears again.  Record your observations.

5.  Write down your conclusion.  Was your hypothesis correct?  What did you learn from the experiment?  What questions do you have now?

Feel free to email me with any questions  farhatm@dearbornschools.org

Students can also email me pictures or videos of their experiments

Our kindergarten classes are practicing numbers! Today, we counted dots on dominoes and matched them to the correct number. We learned that there are many ways to make numbers.

First graders are learning about properties of objects. We tested different candies to see if they would sink or float. What do you think will happen?
