Our Learning Today

Today we watched two videos on what is was like to have Autism and Epilepsy for our upcoming Autism and Epilepsy Awareness Days both happening this Thursday.
We had some great discussions on how we are similar to children with Autism or Epilepsy, how we show understanding and how everyone can show support.  Your child may want to wear blue to bring awareness to Autism or purple to bring awareness to Epilepsy on Thursday.
 Here are the two links if you would like to view them or further discuss them with your child.

We decided we wanted to explore this further. One student was so helpful in bringing in 3 containers of slime for us to explore! Thank you to this student! Ms. McCullough decided to add in Oobleck to the experiment as well. We described both the solid and liquid characteristics of slime and oobleck then wrote a conclusion on whether it should be classified as a solid, liquid or both and explain why. Through some research online, Ms. McCullough found out this information online: What Is Oobleck? Oobleck isn’t a liquid or a solid, it’s a "non-Newtonian fluid". At times, it may seem like a solid or a liquid but it acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Making oobleck is a great science experiment to show how changes in  pressure  can change the...
