** Weekend Challenge **

Complete this weekend challenge to earn a star! 

Friction

So far students have learned about magnetic force (non-contact)! Today they learned about friction (contact) and tested the force needed to move an object when friction is acting on that object. They realized that if a surface is bumpy or rough, there is more friction present! We also learned about the unit used to measure friction, newtons! 

Sound is VIBRATION!

Grade 4 students got to extend their knowledge of sound waves and vibration by making a kazoo today! 

Inquiry Learning

Grade 5 students had a challenge to make a car move without touching it! They were given no instruction, just a question to solve! After some experimenting, and changing variables, they realized that using magnets and magnetic force can move their car! 

Telling Time

Grade 4 students have been learning/reviewing the concept of time! So many of the students already had background knowledge about this concept and it has made this unit fly by! After they were done their work this week, they got to play a math game using elapsed time ideas! 

** Weekend Challenge **

Earn two stars by completing the following weekend challenge! Put your answer on a scrap piece of paper or write it in your agenda for Monday! 

The Science of Sound

Grade 4 students completed an experiment today to learn the science behind how sound works. By using tuning forks and salt, kids learned that sound starts from a vibration!
