Day 94

Inquiry into Language 

Students continued to learn about Explanation writing for their upcoming OWA. Yesterday they were given the brainstorm of Sparky the Dog. They had to read all the ideas and put them in order of how they thought the ideas should appear in the paragraph. Today students continued to write their paragraph. They were given this checklist to follow:
1. Introduction
2. Body - using sentence starters
3. conclusion

The OWA requires students to write an explanation of a robot they invented. Sparky the Dog is set up the same way as they would write for the OWA explanation. By completing this students were able to visually see what is required of them and how to do it. Students will complete their own about a newly invented iPad next. 

Inquiry into Simple Machines

Today students continued to learn about the lever!

We watched a video

We reviewed that a fulcrum is an important part of a lever.

Students were given 4 elastics, 8 popsicles, a plastic spoon and a picture! They were told to investigate and create a catapult!

We created a catapult to shoot marshmallows into our partners' mouths!!!!!!
