Blue River Watershed

Blue River Watershed

On November 2nd, 2015 people from Blue River Watershed came in and taught fifth grade about the blue river. When one of the people came in she had a mini plastic display of a town except with 2 houses, the building that takes out all of the gross stuff out of the water,and the last building was the building that cleans and purifies the water so we can drink water, take a bath or shower, and wash dishes with clean water. As she was teaching she taught us what rain does to the ground if you use too much fertilizer or if you don't clean up their dog’s poop. She used kool-aid and hot chocolate to represent the feces, urine and dirt. On November 4th she came back and we got to use chemicals and test tubes. So far we have had a lot of fun when she comes in and we hope we keep having fun as she comes in until November 6th then it will be the last day. :(

Middle school tour!

Today fith grade went to the middle school so we could get a tour of where everything was and how going to middle school isn't that bad. One of the 6th graders gave us a speech about class periods,  how our lockers work, and locker numbers and combinations. Plus they talked about how gym works and how you don't get homework unless you don't get your assignments done in class. they also said "if you choose not to do your work in class it becomes homework." They talked about how if you are new during the middle of the year they have certain people that give them a tour and they also said that if your a 6th grader for the first 2 weeks it's ok if you are tarty. so we learned about going to middle school and how fun it might be so we won't get scared about going next year.

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!!!!!!!!!
