In science this week we will be looking at shadows and sources of light, both natural and artificial.  

Hello!

 

This week in science we will be learning about light waves.  Students will look at concepts like transparency and opacity as well as what happens when there is no light at all. 

Hello Families,

This week in science we will be doing some labs with wound waves and students will get a chance to see how sound waves work in different situations.  At home ask your student to tell you how they think different things make their sound, especially instruments. 

This week we will be doing a mystery science lesson and then doing a short experiment to look at the scientific method in action.

In science this week we will be looking at the scientific method with a focus on observation skills.  We will also be doing some work with safety skills in science if we get to it at the end of the week.
