Flashlights - How do they work?

Today the kids worked in groups to observe how a flashlight works. They took it all apart, rearranged the batteries, and made observations about battery arrangement and electric circuits.

Multiplying the 'traditional' method

Today we worked on multiplying multi-digit numbers with the "traditional method". This is the way most parents learned how to multiply.
Here are a few videos that we reviewed in class to reinforce this method.

This is a 'cheat sheet' I gave the kids to help them follow this method.

Snow Days

Due to the snow days we had on Thursday and Friday, we will have the Reading & Vocab test on Monday (after we review the story of the week). The spelling test will be on Tuesday. 

Hope you enjoyed some time outside!

Egg Drop Experiment

Students worked as biomechanical engineers to design a box to keep their egg safe for the Egg Drop Experiment.

Test Toy Cars

The students used rubber bands to generate different amounts of energy. They started by predicting which number of rubber bands would make the car move the fastest, second fastest, and slowest. They tested their predictions. We found that using 3 rubber bands with the toy car made it move the fastest.
