Water Cycle Baggies and Equivalent Fractions...A Busy Tuesday!
In science today, the students worked in their science groups to build a water cycle in a baggie. They followed directions to set up the experiment, and created their own data collection charts in their science notebooks. When we observed the baggies just a little over an hour after setting them up, we could already see evidence of condensation! Lots of predictions abound in Room 3 about what will happen to the water in the baggie. Look for another water cycle experiment coming home tomorrow!
Today, we learned a mathematical strategy for finding equivalent fractions. I was amazed at how quickly the class picked up on it! We used white boards (which may have some magical mathematical powers) to show equivalent fractions, and added to an equivalent fractions chart in the math journals.
