5/6 Biome Project Guidelines

Here is a link to the new, improved project guidelines!  It's going to be a great week.

This Week in Science (10/18-10/22)

This week in science is a bit different than most weeks due to several athletic events during class time. I will revise (shorten) projects and give more details tomorrow in class.  ALL STUDENT WORK WILL BE DUE THURSDAY, October 21. 

5/6 Graders--I will shorten your Biome projects considerably so don't stress, I'll work with you:)

7/8 Graders--Your weather phenomenon projects will only be done in Powerpoint (not sure we will have time to learn new tech tools:)) and we will only spend Monday doing research.  I still think it will be lots of fun!

Weather Folklore

With your partner, choose at least two weather folklore sayings from the following site:

http://www.weatherwizkids.com/weather-folklore.htm

Using the internet as a resource, find out weather the folklore sayings you chose have scientific evidence that either prove the saying true or false.  (DOCUMENT YOUR SOURCES!)

Be prepared for your group to give a brief recap of your findings to start class tomorrow!

5/6 Water Cycle Webquest

Young Scientists--HERE is a link to today's water cycle lesson.

Here are the lyrics to today's Water Cycle song:

Water Cycle

By Lori-Ann Phelan 

(Sang to the tune of She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does
(use pointer finger to make a big circle)

Water travels in a cycle, yes it does
(repeat finger circle)

It goes up as evaporation
(moves hands up to the sky

Forms clouds as condensation
(make a cloud overhead with arms)

Then comes down as precipitation, yes it does!
(sprinkle with fingers while bringing arms down in front of you)
