Super Science: Density Tower Experiment

We have started learning about the states of matter. This week we focused on solids and liquids. Yesterday we all worked together to create a density tower by pouring different types of liquids into a glass jar. We learned that different liquids have different densities and that is what created the layers in our tower. We also dropped in a few different types of solids to see if they sunk or floated. The results were so cool!! Follow this link to see how you can recreate the experiment at home!http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/density-tower-magic-with-science

Welcome to China!

We created a large-scale travel brochure which is on display outside of our classroom. The girls researched facts about different aspects of Chinese culture using the Ipads. We used National Geographic for Kids and United Streaming to help in our research. Next the girls printed sentences and searched the web for pictures which we attached to our hallway brochure. We typed this brochure as a group, using Microsoft Publisher, for you to see on our blog. The pictures below show the inside and outside of our brochure.
