In reading we have been reading the giver and looking at elements of a story. Them, Power Imbalance, Setting, Mood & Tone. We have read both All Summer in a Day by Neil Gaiman and read about half of the Giver by Lois Lowry. Both have these been used to talk about elements of fantasy/distopia and we have written quite a bit about both. Investigating central ideas and theme's of literature.
Social Studies
We watched the following video and are getting ready for looking at American colonization.
Native America before European Colonization
Science
We did our last experiment in our stream tables this week. Student's conducted experiments to test their own experimental question. These ranged from, "What is the effect of the state (ice) of water on erosion and deposition" to "What is the effect of obstacles on erosion and deposition?" and much much more. The students had a great time conduction their experiments and are writing up conclusions to go along with them.
That will conclude our land and water unit and when we get back we will be doing a short, two week unit on space. Looking briefly into seasons and gravity.
