4th graders- Magnetism and Electricity: We are continuing to use our circuit bases with electromagnets this week. We will also learn how telegraphs work and create our own telegraph using the circuit bases.
5th graders- Science state testing review: This week we are focusing on the earth science unit in 4th grade. We will also spend the week before testing using the computers to review what we have learned this year by visiting links on the blog.

Science the week of Mar 28-April 1
4th graders- Magnetism and Electricity: This week we are starting to learn the basics of electricity. We will learn how to use wires and a battery to light a lightbulb. Students will be introduced to our circuit bases, a great safety tool we can use while connecting all electricity materials.
5th graders- Mixtures and Solutions: We are spending the week working on the laptops to learn more about the periodic table of elements, chemical reactions, atoms and molecules. We will be visiting many websites listed on the blog.

Science the week of Mar 14-18
4th graders- Magnetism and Electricity: This week we are spending time continuing to learn about magnets and their unique properties. We are learning about what types of metals are considered magnetic and how to create a temporary magnet. Students are also reviewing the scientific method for our upcoming science fair.
5th graders- Mixtures and Solutions: This week we are learning about a chemical reaction. We are making observations about what we can see happening that would suggest a chemical reaction has taken place. Students are also reviewing the scientific method for our upcoming science fair.

Science the week of Feb 28-March 4
This week in Science:
4th graders- Environments: This week we will take our unit test on Environments. Please remind your students of the upcoming test. Here is the Schedule:
LeConte: Thursday Mar 3
5th graders- Mixtures and Solutions: We are starting our first full week focusing on our new unit, mixtures and solutions. This week we will be learning what a mixture is and what a solution is. We will also be learning different techniques we can use to separate the mixtures and solutions that we have made.

Science the week of Feb 7-11
4th graders- Environments: This week we are continuing to take care of our terrariums. This week we will add 2 new animals to our habitat and make observations about what happens to our plants and current animals when we add our new residents.
5th graders- Living Systems: We are spending our last week on the unit working on our study guide for the Living Systems unit test. Students will be using their Science notebooks, textbooks, and each other to help them answer questions on the study guide. I will also be giving them the answers, so they can correct the study guide and take it home to study with all the correct answers. As of now, LeConte students will take the test on Tuesday Feb 15 and Washington students will take the test on Wednesday Feb 16
