In the afternoon we played 2 Social Studies sorting games. The students had to divide both pictures and items into the correct Social Studies communities.....the catch was they had to work as a team without speaking a single word!
In Science we conducted one of our final experiments for the Hot and Cold unit. We took 4 plastic jars and inserted them into 4 larger jars. We filled the gaps between the jars with 4 insulators. The smaller inside jars were then filled with water that was 72 degrees celsius. We took the temperature of the water in each of the 4 jars over a 2 hour period to see which material was the best insulator. The results were a bit shocking (even for us adults)!
Question of the day-
Can you rank the insulators from best to worst?
best to worst, feathers are the best, wood chip are second, lard was third and finally tin foil was a conductor. from Alex P.
