Energy With Pictures

Weekly Update

WOW!  Nearly half of all fifth graders made a 100% on last week's vocabulary quiz!  Students who did not make a 100% will be having a bit of extra vocabulary practice for homework this week to help them understand the terms a bit better.

Extra Credit project went home last week.  It's worth up to 10 extra points in the test category.  I was AMAZED by how quickly some students did completed this!  Reminder that it is due by the end of the month (Jan. 31st).  I am asking for students to submit a picture of their project as well.  This can be sent via Class Dojo, email, or printed and attached to the paper.

THIS WEEK:

• Finishing up our unit on Energy expect a test Friday.
• Vocabulary quiz Friday (even students who made 100% on last week's quiz)
• Wrapping up unit on Early Explorers.  Students who did not do well on the online quizzes were given paper copies to help bring up their score.

Weekly Update

This Week
Thursday 1/18: Report Cards go home
Friday 1/19: Science Vocabulary Quiz

Throughout the week students will be working on Flocabulary and Studies Weekly quizzes in Social Studies


In Social Studies we are learning about early explorers and the Age of Exploration.  Here are some links will help to deepen the understanding of what we are learning. (Student logins are required)
Flocabulary Age of Exploration
Flocabulary Discovering America
Brain Pop Henry Hudson
Brain Pop Marco Polo
Brain Pop Christopher Columbus
Brain Pop Silk Road
Columbian Exchange
Brain Pop Conquistadors



In Science we are learning about energy
Students will:

• investigate and describe some basic forms of energy (including light, heat, sound, electrical, chemical and mechanical)
• investigate and explain that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change
• investigate and explain that electrical energy can be transformed into heat, light, and sound energy as well as the energy of motion
• investigate and explain that an electrically charged object can attract an uncharged object and can either attract or repel another charged object without any contact between objects
• investigate and illustrate that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit
• identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not

Update

As we enter the third nine weeks we will start with energy.

Students will:

• investigate and describe some basic forms of energy (including light, heat, sound, electrical, chemical and mechanical)
• investigate and explain that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change
• investigate and explain that electrical energy can be transformed into heat, light, and sound energy as well as the energy of motion
• investigate and explain that an electrically charged object can attract an uncharged object and can either attract or repel another charged object without any contact between objects
• investigate and illustrate that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit
• identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not

Matter

We will be learning about matter.

By the end of this unit students should be able to

• Compare and contrast the basic properties of solids, liquids, and gases, such as mass, volume, color, texture, and temperature.
• Investigate and identify materials that will dissolve in water and those that will not and identify the conditions that will speed up or slow down the dissolving process.
• Demonstrate and explain that mixtures of solids can be separated based on observable properties of their parts such as particle size, shape, color, and magnetic attraction.
• Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also called atomic theory) by recognizing that all matter is composed of parts that are too small to be seen without magnification.
• Investigate and describe that many physical and chemical changes are affected by temperature.

Update

We are still working on Weather and the Water Cycle.  We will be wrapping up the unit this week.  We will be taking the district assessment Friday.

Students will be quizzed one more time on the Weather and Water Cycle Vocabulary list.
