After studying plants and animals, we visited the Baltimore Zoo to take a closer look at a variety of organisms from around the world, both plant and animal.
-
Visited the Science Center and viewed and Imax film on the systems of the human body.
-
Study of genetics and how organisms have evolved and adapted over time.
-
We examined various physical features and plotted the results on a classroom tree. We were able to see which genetic traits were more common or dominant and which were recessive.
-
Study of the types of waves, characteristics of waves and how waves react in various mediums.
-
Used mirrors to bend and reflect light to hit a specific mark. Studied the Law of Reflection.
-
Measured the frequency and pitch of waves and how amplitude is affected using Lab Pro and tuning forks.
-
Study of types of rocks, rock characteristics, rock cycle, types of fossils, fossil formation, relative and absolute age, and the Law of Superposition.
-
Studied the formation of igneous rocks and began with a demonstration of extrusive versus intrusive rocks through an eruption of a model volcano.
-
Created a model of sedimentary rock with a mold fossil out of plaster of paris, sand, water, and a model of a cast fossil.
