Food Chain

We talked about Food Chains.

We did this in K-1, the older classes, we used little cards and acted them out.

Ice & Snow

We did an ice cube experiment.

We also listed Ice and snow facts on our snow board.

Motion

Investigate how things move.

2-5 grades- set up their own ramps and guessed how far they thought it would travel, then tested their theory.

Penguins

We created theme words for penguins.

K-1 grades: We labeled a giant penguin.

2-3We filled out a giant chart as a group. We learned about penguin facts such as: name, how they move, their height, how they live, who are the predators are, about their loves and babies, what they eat, and how much they weigh.

I created a large chart then made a smaller one for each of the children. This is a 2nd grader's paper. We did it together. The 4th-5th graders picked their own penguins and filled it in themselves.

Here was an art project for the K-1. It took two days to complete! This is how it began:

This is how it ended up:

On a teacher created penguin chart, we will measure each child against those heights of the penguins.

Create a penguin fact chart from the penguin books.

Battery Power

We used a small battery, some foam and a wire. This was a little difficult for us. The result was that the wire would spin. We got it to rock back and forth a little bit.

Color Motion

We used milk, food coloring, and dish soap.

Color Wheel

We made color wheels.
