Butterfly Life Cycles and Google Forms

I created a Google Form for my  kids to use as an assessment for our final day of learning during our Butterfly Life Cycle unit.  I embedded pictures as well as texts into the form.  The kids really enjoyed it and were very engaged and excited to tell me about all that they had learned!   Please click on the link below if you would like to see the Google Form!

Beat the Afternoon Slump with Kahoot IT!

We played Kahoot It this afternoon to enhance our learning about Butterfly life Cycles. It definitely helps us beat the afternoon slump that can occur from time to time:)

Planting Seeds with Lino!

We have officially started our Plants and Soil unit for 4th quarter today and to launch it I used Lino/Linoit. This was the first time we did it so I kept our questions simple and something all students would be able to answer- almost like a quick inventory [or KWL] of what the students knew already about the following: plants, soil, and seeds. 

The students used a QR code to pull up the Lino and then worked alone, with a partner, and some groups of three to answer all three of the intro questions. Afterwards we discussed plants in further detail and started our Colored Celery experiment that will help us see how the coloring in the water seeps through the stem up to the leaves and in turn, changes their color.

Thank you to all the individuals who shared their experiences with Lino, Maynard for sharing the iPADS, and Shearer for sharing her celery :)

Investigations in Second Grade

Students researched questions in second grade to determine the relationship between air and a parachute. How does air impact the movement of a parachute and why? Great investigating!

Webquest

In class today we learned about air pressure by using a webquest.  Students scanned the website using a QR code and then researched the webpage to answer the questions and learn about air pressure.

It's All About The Bones!

In Third Grade we spend a unit in Science learning about the human body. One area we focus on is the skeletal system. We have been doing a variety of exercises to learn the purpose of our skeletal system, we've done a few activities researching in the computer lab and today we created this art project to show the basic bones that third graders should know.

After we completed the art project where they had to use their device to find where the bones go they were to complete a scavenger hunt on Mrs. Pysch's Activity tab on the 3rd grade website.

They recorded their findings as they worked through each step.

4th Grade Science Activity - Magnets

Ms. Dee sent her students on a collaborative webquest. The students had to work together to find the answers using their device.

4th Grade Science Activity - Magnets and Electricty

Mrs. Collins' class researched electricity and magnets using pre-selected sites. They were responsible for reporting their findings to the rest of the class.
