We are four of the rockstar students in Miss Phillips' and Ms. McComas' class this year. We took these pictures on our iPads for a Wordless Wednesday post. This is our Wordless Wednesday. We're learning about HEAT and we found a frog.

We are working hard on using technology to share our learning. Since we are learning about weathering and erosion, we have spent a lot of time outside exploring where erosion is very obvious. We used our iPads to capture pictures of the weathering and erosion, then used ShowMe to narrate our videos. Check them out... O. A. weathering and erosionT.C. lots of erosionD.B. ErosionDid you know magnets are attracked to iron? In science we are learning about magnets. We learned that magnets can attract or repel. North poles attract south poles and north poles repel north poles. Two of the same poles repel. We had to build magnet magic tricks to show our learning about magnets. Magnets are not really magic but some kids think they are because they attract or repel. I will put in the pictures of our magnet magic tricks.
My First Week At Sci-Tech (super summer)
My first week at Sci-Tech super summer is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s at Hollydale elementary school. We started a garden, were learning about air pollution and how to fight it, we’re also using technology, which is awesome!!!!!!!! Plus my friend from my baseball team is there. Super summer is well, super. Have you ever made a garden? Have you ever learned about air pollution? Have you ever played with lots of technology? If you said no to any of these come to Sci-Tech super summer. Did you know that science is all around us? In our class we look at the science around us all the time. This week, we have gotten to have picnics outside. On our picnics we have found lots of science. For example, we sat under a pine tree outside. We learned that pine trees grow in the Piedmont region of Georgia. We also saw an oak tree, another tree in the Piedmont region. We saw tadpoles in the stream that runs near the picnic tables. The stream is their habitat and if we mess with that stream, we might destroy their habitat. Good science students do not mess with animal's homes! On the days that it was hot, we sat in the shade. The people that had on white shirts were happy because white does not absorb as much heat as black. They stayed cooler than the kids in dark shirts. I hope we have more picnics so we can see more science in action. Here are the pictures from our picnic. I hope you enjoyed reading my writing. Stay tuned for more.
Hi, we are back to tell you about our learning. This week we learned about heat. We learned that heat moves thru conduction, convection, and radiation. We made heat flip books. Mr. Triplett brought in a toaster and a lamp to let us feel heat transfer. You can feel the heat without even touching something and that is radiation. Did you know that the color black absorbs heat? Well it does and that is why you don't wanna wear black when it is hot. Ms. Phillips took some pictures of our heat lesson.
