In Science, we began a new unit on Earth physics. Students learned how to describe the vibration of particles in a sound wave, how to explain why sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, and what an echo is. They also…

In Science, we looked at energy stores and transfers. Students learned to describe changes in energy that are the result of an event or process. We finished our unit on forces and energy with a small test.

In Science, we continued our work on forces and gravity. Students learned about the formation of the solar system, what keeps planets in orbit and why objects moving in space do not slow down as they do on Earth.

In Science, we began a unit on forces and energy. The class learned about gravity and the difference between weight and mass. We finished the week with a force-meter experiment to consolidate their learning.

In Science, we completed the unit on properties of materials and the students reviewed their work. We finished the week with a small test based on what they have learned.

In Science, we looked at how to use the properties of materials to separate mixtures. We then moved on to studying acids and alkalis. The class learned about indicators and pH levels by experimenting with litmus paper and universal indicator…

In Science, the class began a new unit on the properties of materials. They learned how to describe the common differences between metals and non-metals, referring to their physical properties.

In Science, we began a new unit on classifying and grouping organisms. The class learned to describe the seven characteristics of living things and discussed reasons for classifying a virus as living or non-living. They also learned to describe what…

In Science, students learned about the differences between elements and compounds and learned how to use formulae. We moved from there to looking at the differences between compounds and mixtures and students learned how to distinguish between the two.

In week eight, we concluded our work on the states of matter by looking at the water cycle. In week nine, we began looking at what matter is made of and learned about atoms, elements and the Periodic Table. The…
