Awesome Science Day

Today in class we had 5th graders joining middle school because it was shadow day. The 6th graders and 5th graders were in different groups together (made by teachers) in the scavenger hunt. In the scavenger hunt, for example, the 5th graders had to open our lockers, look on different assignments on moodle or make a comment to any scribe post written by a 6th grader. After the scavenger hunt, we got back to our normal class, science, and continued our lab, the paper airplane lab. In the airplane lab, we have to make any change to the paper airplane so that it can fly further. Our shadows (the 5th graders) got to make their own airplane too and got to test them. They also had to think of ways that the airplane would go further. For example the amounts of folds you make on your plane or adding the right amount of paperclips. The 6th graders didn’t really get to pay attension to our lab because we had to explain what we have done so far in science and we had to help them with the lab (some of them had no idea what to do). Today we had a fun day in science (like always), and all of our shdows enjoyed it too (I hope).

Get ready for tommorow 6th graders, another shadow day with the other half of the 5th grade class.

THE NEXT SCRIBE IS.................................TAMARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi to everybody,

Last class two main things happened:

ONE was that we continued our lab (as you can see here there are some pictures of the students during the activity, and a way to fold paper airplanes) our lab is about how changing the differenet parts of a paper airplane (IV) effect the final result which would be the length flown (also called the DV).

Most of us arrived to the second test which is the amount of folds on the airplane. F-or the first one, it was how many paper clips had been added on the airplane( first two, then four, and then six).

For each test we had to try it three times and then we made an average, to which, we made observations (it crashed in the wall, or it hit someone) so we could then draw a conclusion!

For the second one instead, we had to decide how many folds there would be and then the rest was the same.

IF one of you lost the sheet here is the link to moodle in case you need to print it out: http://zagreb.ceesa.net/course/view.php?id=107

The SECOND thing we did was we talked about the 5th grade class SHADOW DAY!!!

This is mostly for the 6th graders since it will be them who will have to show and introduce the 5th graders to MIDDLE SCHOOL!

We will have this shadow day twice, since their class was to big they will be split in two groups, one will go on Wednesday and one on Thursday. They will be assigned one or two 6th graders and our class will have to go around and have their normal classes with them, except that, after lunch the 5th grade will go back to their classroom and 6th grade will have their normal routine.

The 6th grade drama students won't be here during Wednesday lunch so their buddies will have to eat lunch with their other friends.

Some of the things 5th graders will do with 6th grade is they will have a SCAVENGER HUNT!! They will get some clues and will have to follow those to be able to have all the teachers sign a not to win the scavenger hunt!

Another thing that will be done is that the 5th grade will try opening the 6th grade lockers and will learn better about moodle. Hope you all enjoy shadow day!

That is mostly all about what happened on Monday's class......

THE NEXT SCRIBE IS JAKUB!!!! (Hope you enjoy)
