Thanks to everyone for helping the kids with their experiments at home. The presentations were amazing. Mrs. Mayer and I had a great time listening to the kids explain how they worked to control as many variables as they could, record their results, and explain their findings. We heard all sorts of great scientific vocabulary coming back from home- hypothesis, force, thrust, variable, gravity, and on and on. Some were new to us. That's one of the great parts of teaching - learning!
It occurred to me as I listened to their results that with all the work we've been doing around graphs that we should we should have created graphs to share the results of our experiments - whether in terms of linear measurements or time measurements. Ah, something to consider next time.
Our study of motion will continue into next week and then we will transition into an exploration of sound.
