SS rotations

At the newspapers and Primary sources station,we looked at newspaper articles to get information on different tribes of Native Americans. These newspapers are very old.This station was at table 3.

At the mini laptops station, we had to search the the internet for facts. Each one of us looked at different sites. This was at the desk.

At the library books, we could read different books about Native Americans. This was at the Library.

 

At the textbook student website station, the group that was there used only one computer to write down facts. There are five tribes to write down facts on. The computer was at the carpet.

At this staion, there are articles that were on paper to read for facts. All the articles were different. This was at table 5.

Water Molecule Field Trip

Video made by Jonah

Today we went on imaginary field trip. First we all we shrunk 1,000times smaller, and then turned into water molecules. We had 9 stations in sience  we were learning about water molecules we had to go around the room to go in places water molicules go when they move through the water cycle. There was animal where you would role dice to see if you go to a different part of the cycle or if you would stay at that part of the cycle !!!! There were 8 other stations: soil,glaciers,ocean,ground water,plant,lakes,and clouds! 

We would have Line up in a straight line so we would know what water molecules were behind us because if we rolled a specific number the person behind you would have to travel with you. For example, if you went to ocean and you got one, two, or three or sometimes four the person behind would have to travel as well. 

But if you were really a water molecule you would think if I have been around for over a million years and I have been drank, I have been urine, and water vapor, and snow, and in the ground, and in lakes, rivers, and the ocean.  I have gone threw the water cycle so many times. The water cycle is a cool natrual process it comes down as rain, snow, and sleet and then It melts gets evaporated turns into a gas goes up in the clouds and keeps going!!!

I have to admit I like the cloud station the most, it's very interesting. It's awesome how the cloud gets the water that evaporates into a gas and than it condenses in the clouds, basically they catch the gas and it becomes a liquid and it rains again. It's just an amazing part of the cycle, with out them we would not get any rain. Thank the world for having clouds and for scientists for discovering this amazing cycle!!

Are whole class loved doing this, we had so much fun doing the cycle!!!!!!!!!

We're going to be on GVTV!!

GVTV came here to interview some kids most of us haven't seen it before. We had to practice what to say. We said " ya!" And "back to you in the studio!".

It was mostly girls until Mrs. Sims got Jonah, the closest boy to the door, so there was at least 

one boy it. Everyone kept working on writing. There was only 7 kids out there. 

Mrs. Sims was so proud of us for not getting all distracted and for working hard even when there were unannounced visitors.

Water Cycle

Today in science we learned about the water cycle. We learned what the water cycle is and what it does. We also made our own water cycle using a water vapor maker. Everybody got to touch the vapor and learn how it was made.

In the video on top you can see us talking about water vapor.Water vapor is the gas version of water.

In the bottom left we are trying to show how the water cycle works with steam. Steam and vapor are kind of the same, but aren't the same thing. 

Steam is a gas. It is hot and happens when water particles escape from boiling water. When it cools it will condense into water drops again. That's why the top of stove or coffee make sometimes has water drops on it, because steam escaped but got cool again. 

Vapor is a gas that is the same temperate as the air. It is particles of water that have "dissolved" into the air. It can condense again too, like on the side of a glass, because water in the air condenses when it gets cooler. 

In the botton right video we filled the turtle tank with water vapor and left the heat lamp on. We are giving the turtle a steam bath and also when we opened the door we got to feel the humidity.  What we learned from this is that there is water vapor all around us, and when we feel "humid" we are feeling the vapor. Even though most of the time you can't see it.

Our class Mission Statment

We the people of Mrs. Sims class, in order to form a more perfect school year, establish good friendships, insure there are good role models at Sni-a-bar, provide leadership for our school, promote funniness and coolness at the right times and in nice ways in right place, secure an education for all of our futures, ordain and establish this Mission Statement for our 5th grade class. 

Turtle

Today we got a brand new turtle we haven't named him yet but we will sooner or later and he has an orange strip on his face he's so cute. Landon and kylan helped clean his cage so it was ready for the turtle to move in to his new home.  Landon and kylan are happy that they could help with the turtle.  So am I we get a new member of the family.
