Homemade Thermometers

Today we made thermometers. Due to heat transferred from our hands the molecules of water moved apart and caused the water in our thermometers to expand.

Food Science

For our Energy Unit we have incorporated some fun food science. Check out our photos of Ice Cream in a Bag (Heat Transfer and Chemical Energy) as well as Solar Ovens (Radiant Heat Transfer, Thermal Energy). Plus we enjoyed the snack!

March is Reading Month! What is your favorite book and why? Write a book recommendation for it in the comments below. Have your parents write one too.

Science- Magnetic Earth

Nice work to Joshua, Sareena and Sylvia for making a hand made compass and presenting it in class.

Glacial Abrasion Lab.

Here are some photos from our Glacial Abrasion Lab. We used ice with sediments and soap (that acted like our land) to show have glaciers can change the way our Earth looks.

Updates from Science- Glacier Models

This week we created glacier models that illustrated how glaciers erode sediments and weather Earth. We also saw how melting and refreezing causes glacial plucking.
