Thanks everyone for the great comments. We even got some from some fifth graders. So, has anyone figured out which Native American is pictured? One tribe group has his picture in their section of the text. That’s a hint for everyone. Would anyone like to share what some of their group has discovered in their research?

This picture is of a great Native American leader. Tell everyone what tribe you are working on in your group and at least one fact you have discovered about them so far. With your parents, see if you can figure out who this great leader is and name him. This picture is quite famous. You might want to Google it to find out.
While you’re checking this out, listen to the song Cherokee People linked on this blog (far right toward the bottom). Your parents might know the song. The words are also connected (right below). What do they mean?

Alright everyone, here’s the task. Is this a rock or mineral? How can you tell? Give proof from what we discussed in class. Next, can you remember what kind of mineral this is? What else do you remember about rocks and minerals?

Does this look familiar? What do you remember about how sound gets to your brain? What about sound waves? Do you remember what frequency means? Which has a higher pitch, a glass full of water or with no water? Why do men’s voices sound lower pitched than women’s? All of these questions with answers found in your sound science class today.

We’re creating a class constitution. What would you like some of the rules to be on our constitution? Why are they important?

It’s a new year. Welcome to our new fourth graders. I’ll start adding posts throughout the year for you to comment. There are still some links from previous years you can use.
We’ve had a great start. Everyone has learned how to use their binder, planner, and turn in work. We’ve already done several experiments. Can you tell what happened during each experiment? They are…
The boat with soap.
The penny with water.
The tea kettle.
The water and oil on the overhead.

Some were asking about taking off old posts. I leave them on until the end of that school year so even the holiday posts will stay put until June. It’s nice to go back and see what happened this year and what people chose to comment about, don’t you agree?

Okay, here it is, more pink. I dig the shoes, how about you? The rose is Mrs. Six’s favorite flower. Do you know what kind of minerals those are? Most would guess rose quartz. They’re actually pink opals. Still working on trying to get the video clip of everyone playing chess on but we’re having technical difficulties. Thanks for your patience.
