Acceleration and Drag - We discussed the concepts of acceleration, move forward, and drag, inhibiting the acceleration. Remington explored an online activity in which he needed to accelerate and avoid drag while operating the vehicle.

We played a word game while we had to make a 3 letter word with the letters we were given.

We explored everything about bats today. We drew half of a bat for symmetry, added bats for math, counted bats for coloring, and sang a batty song.

For today's lesson, Libby and I read a book on the parts and life cycle of a pumpkin. Then, we verbally discussed each part of the plant and its role in growing new and healthy plants. We finished with a quiz on the plant's parts with Libby matching the terms to their descriptions.

1. Use "Crash Course for Kids" video on gravity to enhance interest in the subject.
2.Experiment: Compare which items fall faster/slower than each other. ie: sheet of paper, paper crumbled into a ball, paper airplane, pencil, box of pencils ...
3. Discuss properties of items that make them fall more quickly/slowly (weight, shape, size)
4. Chart results (See chart on wall in students' room)

We discussed and reviewed flight and acceleration. We used what we knew/learned to create paper airplanes. We used the directions in the book. For our next session, Mrs. Jaqie will acquire a few books from the public library.

We reviewed ways the sun is useful. Then, we created drawings indicative of ways the sun is useful. This was a quiz grade.

We took a nature walk to find items on our list. Each student had a clipboard with a Nature Walk sheet. As we found things in nature, we checked "yes" on the sheet. If we didn't find the object, we checked "no". Then, we created a drawing including the objects we found on our nature walk.

Students were asked to draw the night sky including everything they see at night. Next, we labeled the objects. Then, we read from the Science book about scientists and telescopes. Lastly, we added telescopes to the pictures.

We worked through a Nearpod lesson about the seasons. The students were able to identify the seasons and ways to prepare for the weather during those seasons. At the end of the lesson, students were able to draw pictures of ways to prepare for the seasons/weather.
