I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I checked the weather forecast for this upcoming week and it looks like we may see warmer temperatures. Hurray! Another piece of good news is that we have extended time for our science fair projects. Double hurray! If anyone has questions concerning this, please feel free to contact us. We are always here to help =)
Now let's check out our plans for this week:

Monday, April 16th

Science

Today we will finish the vocabulary quiz that we didn't get to last week. Then turn to our friends, Tim and Moby from BrainPop, to help us understand the measurement of matter. This will help us with certain parts of Lesson 7 (pgs. 28-30 in your Student Pages).





Tuesday, April 17th

Science

What does it mean when bubbles are formed in a reaction? What happens to the weight in a reaction if bubbles are formed? Today we will explore these two questions by doing four different experiments. I am loving chemistry!


Creation Station

As Thursday's publishing date approaches we must continue to work hard on those memoirs! Today we will have a chance to peer edit and type our memoirs.






Wednesday, April 18th

Science

Do you remember our periodic table? Today we will return to the periodic table by doing an exercise that involves coloring and researching. I can't wait!




Thursday, April 19th

Science

Man we are on a roll with weight and chemical reactions! So we can't stop now! Today we embark on our two day journey of Lesson 8 (pg. 31-35 in your Student Pages). Do gases have weight? How can you find out? How does the weight of the starting substances compare to the weight of the ending substances when gases are formed and given off in a reaction? I'm not telling... You will have to stop by or ask your child these fun scientific questions =)


Creation Station

PUBLISH DAY!! Hurray! Today we will finish editing and typing our memoirs. Then we can upload them on the Internet to be published! We are becoming more famous everyday, so make sure you check out our first Published memoirs. I'm proud of everyone and keep up the good work =)






Friday, April 20th

Science

Today we continue with Lesson 8 (pg. 31-35 in your Student Pages). We will observe a chemical reaction, which forms a gas as a product, in an open and a closed system. What do you predict will happen to the weight between the systems? Use the aspects of a logical argument and provide evidence in your Think and Write answers. Man do I love chemistry!
