We have started a new science unit about electricity. We have discussed safety guidelines to follow when using electricity at school and at home. We have learned the basics about atoms, and we have also created simple circuits using a light bulb, a battery, and a wire.

During language arts, we created verb synonym posters. Students will be able to use these stronger verb choices to enhance future writing assignments.

This week, we wrapped up our science unit on land and water. We completed the unit with a culminating experiment in which students designed a homesite. Students strategically placed houses in their stream tables, and created dams in order to protect them from flooding. We then poured water into the stream tables and observed the results. Next week, we will begin a new science unit about electricity.
