Scan and Submit Your Science Journal!
You will have until Monday, 5/11, to scan your journal and email it to me.
INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON MY HOME PAGE AT THE TOP OF THE CENTER FEED.
Make sure it is finished and everything is done well before you submit it.
Please let me know if you have questions and I'm happy to help!

BLUE CLASS!! Prepare for our Zoom meeting this afternoon!!!
Today in our Zoom class we will be creating a study page together about the three states of matter.
Before you enter our meeting THIS WEEK you need to do one of two things.
Do #1 if you have a printer.
Do #2 if you don't have a printer.
1) Print out the page below and have it ready before the meeting starts OR
2) Reproduce the page below by hand and have it ready before the meeting starts. Use a straightedge so it is neat. Your box does not need to be 3-D - you can just draw a box with the particles inside, spaced out as shown in the pictures.
*****************************************************
Elements!
All things are made of 188 different "ingredients" that we call ELEMENTS.
Each element has a different name and different characteristics.
 
In 5th grade we will learn about what the elements are and all about the chart on which they are listed.
This chart is called The Periodic Table. It organizes the elements based on their characteristics.
 
As an introduction to the elements, I'd like you to watch Bill Nye's video about atoms and molecules to get a little understanding about how they are connected to elements and the periodic table.
 
Set up your journal for "Bill Nye - Atoms and Molecules   Old News / New News".
Press play!
*************************************************
Although the calculations on yesterday's density lab were quite simple, take a minute and check your answers using this key.
Make sure that everything from this week is in your journal, the pages have a title, and it's all added to your table of contents.
