Weeks in Review

I'm a little late with my postings so here's a look at what we've been up to lately! We continued our sound waves unit with several experiments including one where students drop an object in water and see the waves. Since sounds waves are invisible, we tried to imagine what they would look like with this experiment. We also experimented with sound vibrations by investigating a rubber band experiment. Can you see the vibrations when you strum the rubber band? Can you make the sound change? For each experiment, we have focused on the scientific method and named each part of the method using our own experiments as a reference. We celebrated the 100th Day of School and Valentine's Day and took a community field trip to the Montpelier Post Office. Did you enjoy your letters? We have been working hard on completing our non-fiction "teaching books" and are eager to share them with you on the 7th!
