5.31.12 Science Presentations In 5th Grade Demonstrate Knowledge of Scientific Process & Public Speaking Skills
Students worked in groups over a period of weeks to devise questions, hypotheses, materials, procedures, and conclusions.

They were motivated to organize their thoughts in a presentable way because they knew they would be presenting to a real and important audience of parents.
5.31.12-3rd Grade Math Makes Chalk!!
What you you need??:
- Plaster of Paris
- Warm water
- dixie cups
- wax paper
- tempura paint
What does all of this make??: CHALK!
The third graders made their own chalk and tested it out today on the playground and it was a SUCCESS!! Here are some photos of before and after. Because it was a new experiment for all of us, we discussed what we could have done to make it better and decided on: bigger cups, less water, more plaster, and more paint!
