Hot Wheels

Alasha, and conner testing the car.

alison measuring how far the car went.

     Today we did an amazing/fun "lab"to teach us about force, motion, Gravity, and friction. It was pretty cool. I think this is cool because we learned about it and got to have fun.

cydnee, and averee's car fell of

•     first we taped 2 yard sticks together.
•     then we piled our books and put a yard on them like a ramp.
•     next we put the car on the ramp.
•     after we watched the car roll down the ramp. It took 3 times per book.
•     we measured how far the car went of the ramp in centameters.

               After that we got our average we did _ +_+_/ 3=_. It showed us a car will move down a ramp if you give it force. Then gravity will make it go down to the floor. After that friction will make it stop because the wheels are rubbing against the carpet.

This was a fun way Mrs. Sims let us learn about force, motion, gravity, and friction we learned a whole lot! (;

Fingerprint Science

Fingerprint Science!

   

       Today in class we were working on lifting our fingerprints

The materials we used were 2 post it notes a pencil and a 

piece of clear tape. We had so much fun. The first thing

you do is take your pencil make a big bloch of lead on the

post it note. Then you rub your finger print all over the post it 

note. Now you should have a shiny metallic finger. Next you

take a clear piece of tape put your fingerprint on the tape.

Now take off the tape from your finger then you have to put

the tape on the clean post it note. Enjoy!

Measurement

During one of the days when we had the MAP test we got to do an expeirement. Everybody got a partner, we had to measure all sorts of stuff from measuring how long one floor tile is to measuring the distance between a fourth grade classroom to a third grade classroom. Some groups had to stop for a while so everybody else could catch up, it took a while to get there but everybody made it! We learned that instead of sliding the tape measurer we could just flip it over and over. At the end we had to multiply 152 with how many we measured, it's fun to be able to do fun hands on stuff like that so we can learn through activities. Everybody just loves doing stuff like that and it's a lot more fun to do activities instead of reading it out of a book and then doing a worksheet because we actually get to experience and see it happen with our own eyes. Mrs.Sims is really good at making learning fun for everyone.

Opportunity Cost Sundaes

For this activity, we each got $5.00 worth of classroom money. Each of the stuff you could put on our sundae cost "money." First we had to plan what you wanted on it and write it on a chart. Next, you would get in line and wait. Then, when it was your turn you would tell Mrs. Sims what you wanted on it. Finally after that, you'd sit down and enjoy your master piece sundae. Mine was so good and I could barely eat during lunch! -Aneysha

Four Person Interview

First                                                Four Corners!!!!!!!!!

A few days ago we did a group discution it was called four corners. In four corners you share information about things that you think is the correct information and you wright it on a paper explaning what the question.

Celery Experiment

Coolest expeirement ever!

Ok, so what we did was we took blue die and stuck the end of the celery stick inside the test tube with the blue die colored water and sit there for two days and took them out and broke them as you can see. Plus the little tubes that sucked up the water sucked up the blue colored water so when we broke the celery the tubes had blue die in them!

 

This is gage he is now testing his hypothisis!

This is Landon  and Dawson they just broke and as you can see the tubes are blue and the closer you broke it by the leaves the darker the tubes were! 

Here is   Kylan and Emma notice the blue on the napkin you could literally use the celery like a pen!

Look at the peace of celery on the right see the blue.

If you peel the skin it looks really cool!

Simple Machines

                  The Wonders Of Simple Machines!
 So we had fun doing these stations to see what simple machines can realy do. As you can see we had these simple machines lever,screw,gears,pully,wedge,wheel and axle,incline plane.
We spent two days working in these stations. Personlly my favorite was the screw because we had screws and little screw drivers. Any way it was alot of fun!

Celery Cells

Hi my name is Jaedha and I'm going to talk about the day that we did a celery project! We enjoyed learning more about celery aperently celery has veins and so the class and I put dye in water and left it there for a couple of days and later after it turned a little bit blue we opened it up and looked at the veins it was so cool. The veins were blue so we could see them 😀. That project was amazing I think I'm going to try it at home too! -Jaedha 😝

The Plant Quest

The Plant Quest  

I am writing this to tell you what we did in science.  This post is to tell you more about our scavenger hunt

   The lesson is to teach us about the characteristics of plants to tell us what groups and kinds of plants we learned diffent facts about plants like:

What is the largest type of seed in the world..........coconuts 

What is the largest type of plant in the world that does not have a wooden stem..........a banana tree 

     That is what we learned in science about plants

A "hot" experiment

A "hot" experiment

Today we did an experiment using hot wheel cars and two taped meter sticks, it was pretty fun just playing with cars during science! 

The first day we talked about friction, which is the force that makes things stop when they go on a different surface which makes the two rub together and slow down. We also talked about Gravity, the force that holds us down on the earth. Then we taped the meter sticks and made a hypothesis about if the number of books would effect how far the car rolls. 

The second day we did the experiment by stacking books to put the meter stick on and rolling the car down the sticks. 

And after we did all that we calculated the averages and made a bar graph showing our averages. So we had an awesome time doing and learning about force and motion in this fun way.

Our fun APP!

In math we used a Virtual Reality App called Aurasma. It lets you hide objects in our "virtual world". So with our normal eyes we only see a computer, with Aurasma, we see a math problem.

In real life there is not a flying car, but in the virtual world of Aurasma there is.

In the app we did a scavenger hunt where every time we found a clue like the picture above, it would show a math equation or a funny video. We used it to go over our study guide for division.

In this activity we would go into groups of three carrying  the iPad for one group, the teacher's phone, and my phone since I had the app. 

What the app does is you can make you own a aura. All you have to do is pick a design to go inside your aura. Then, you find a place around the room you want to put it in and post! 

Our class agreed to do it again because we had so much fun the first time. It taught us a lot about how to work together. The funny thing is that we all couldn't find one of them which was the teacher! In conclusion, we had a learning experience while still getting to have some fun.

Division Stations

Started division (unit4) dividend/quotient/divisor.

divided : the first number of the problem for example 20 divided by 4 =5. 20 is the dividend.

Divisor: is the 4 and the quotient is the 5

Quotient : is the 5 

 During our math work shop at our Hands on staion we took groups of cubes To figure out the division problem and we had to 

Draw a card to figure out the problem then to use the cubes to do the problem then write the problem on the note card And then take a picture of it all.
