SCIENCE
Before the break students were finishing up their study of weather. We investigated in the concept of the water cycle in order to connect everything learned in this unit. Students became water molecules and had to move around the science laboratory rolling dice, moving to different parts of the water cycle. Students experienced emotions when being stuck in the ocean after many roles. This water centered molecule approach allowed them to appreciate how water flows within the cycle. This has been an exciting experience learning all about weather and water on earth. When we return from break we will investigate climate change and how our need for energy impacts the earth. Then we will be doing a series of building projects around renewable energy sources.
