Science4

I won't be at the grade group meeting on the 15th (We are going to Lansing)

We have been working on Science processes using measurement as is in the curriculum crafter. We have decided it would be too confusing to teach standard measurement and metric at the same time since they would attempt to compare them. We also did the marble,sand,water experiment with the fifth grade rather than the 4th. It was quite messy, but the fifth grade "got it". I don't think the 4th grade would. Pam Thomson St.Stephen

I have been using the curriculum crafter to teach electicity. One of the Inquiry lessons included exploring making a circuit. The lesson did not include warnings about attaching a wire from the negative to the positive poles. the batteries got quite hot. The lesson should include a warning about this.
