Last week we wrapped up Energy and Electricity
Students did an AMAZING job on the District Assessment!  Our average score was a 75% which was 5.1 points above the District Average!
28% of students scored an A!

Last week students learned about the Columbian Exchange in Social Studies.  This week we will be wrapping that up before heading into learning about Jamestown.

In science we will begin our unit on Force and Motion.  The first set of vocabulary words on force are here.  Motion words are here.

Over the next few week students will:
  • Identify familiar forces that cause objects to move, such as pushes or pulls, including gravity acting on falling objects.
  • Investigate and describe that the greater the force applied to it, the greater the change in motion of a given object.
  • Investigate and describe that the more mass an object has, the less effect a given force will have on the object's motion.
  • Define a problem, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types such as: systematic observations, experiments requiring the identification of variables collecting and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions
  • Recognize and explain that when scientific investigations are carried out, the evidence produced by those investigations should be replicable by others.
