CONFERENCES UPDATE


In science this quarter, we have learned about:

weathering-break down of rocks
erosion- moving of material
deposition-settling of material

rocks
-are made of minerals
-properties: luster, color, hardness, density, streak, fracture, grain shape
discover vs. invent
different land forms,
theories vs. laws- t: why/how something happens l: what happens
and, of corse, "What is science," and "How does science work".

We use the class blog, the "ning", and gmail.
We've done differnet projects with our "table" group. We've also worked with students from different class periods.

I like that we don't have homework and that its challenging.
We are learning different things about science and how scientists work.

One day we worked on trying to figure out what this blue stuff was. Its called Ooblek. Here's us:






That day, we learned about a continuum. Ooblek registers in between solid and liquid.

Another activity we did, was clay boats. We did it when we were learning about sinking and floating.




things with a density less than 1 float, greater than 1 sink

We even categorized a small amount of rocks. Here's how:
