Whew! What a week we have had! We finally got to show the voice threads. It took a few days, but we got them all in. Overall, they were good. I gave the kids a classroom blog assignment and asked them which of the four computer tools we have used this year they liked the best and why. I am curious to see what they have to say. We have started our last physical science topic and it is on motion. For this, we will be using graphs to look at position and speed of objects. This is basically going to be an extension of last year's math skills on graphs. Students will be finding how fast an object is moving - its motion, and then looking at its speed. There are two different graphs we will use for this. They are the position vs. time graph and the speed vs. time graph.
I have two lab activities the students will complete to help them use these graphs. One lab is completed here in the room using two different balls, a meterstick and a stopwatch. The next lab will be one using internet sources. They will be researching travel times between a starting point and a destination. It looks to be really fun. Well, that is all we have been doing for this week. We will be working on these two labs into next week. Have a great weekend!
