All About Volcanoes

Ms. Tomader asking children what they know about volcanoes.

They know a lot.

Watching the "volcano" erupt.

 

 

Snow Activity

We made snow in the Science Lab.

 

Balloon Blast-Off

Two balloons starting at the same point but at different strings are released.

Raise your thumb up if you think that these balloons will reach their target.

Down, if you don't.

Getting ready for the Blast-off...

 

Countdown, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

BLAST-OFF!!!

Both balloons reached their target.

At the second blast-off, one balloon lagged behind the other and didn't even reach the target point.

We asked the children what slowed down the other balloon and here are KGD's answers:

*There's air that goes the opposite direction and pushed the balloon backward.

* Balloon was heavier than the other.

* Air in baloon was more than the other.

* One string is longer than the other and the balloon is heavy and makes it slower.

* Weather

KGD students

are

Phenomenal Thinkers!!!

 

 

Tree Investigation

We went to the Science Lab to investigate the parts of the tree.

 

We were asked to label the parts of the tree.

 

Then, we put together Tree Puzzles...

Then we all went out to the field and chose a tree to draw. We have to label the parts of the tree.

A Discussion on each part of the tree and its use.

Focus is an integral part to finish the task assigned by Ms. Dolly.

Ice Experiment

Which Weighs More:

Water or Ice

We made our Predictions and were asked to justify them .

These are KGD's

Predictions and Reasoning:

Water weighs more because ice is smaller than water and water is heavier than ice.

Water weighs more because when you get a glass of water, it's a little bit heavier than a glass of ice.

Water is more than ice.

If it's in the same container and same amount, then it will have the same weight.

Ice is heavier because it is cold and water is not.

Water is heavier than ice because when you put water in the cup, ice comes up.

Ice is kind of heavy.

Ice has a shape.

 

We placed a bottle of water on a weighing scale and it weighed 130 linker cubes .

Then we placed the bottle in the freezer.

Then we took out the bottle and weighed it again to see if there's a difference.

Two people in our class predicted it right . It has the same weight like the liquid water.

Then we passed it around.

Some of us noticed that the frozen ice was starting to become liquid again.
