Due to wacky weather and other events at school, this week we are finally concluding our penny year books
Tuesday tend to be my busiest days of blogging, and today was no exception. Despite the break from snow and ice, we still had quite a few students and teachers wear ties today. Above is a picture of myself and Mr. C showing off our ties. You better enjoy it, because it doesn't happen often, but for today our own Mr. C is now a Tie Tuesday participate. Congratulations Mr. C.
Above we have some of the usually suspects and one new face. Levi and Jeff from Mrs. Drake's Class, Trystan from Mrs. Hamm's Class, Macy, and Courtney both from my classroom.
Lastly, above is a picture of Mrs. Anderson and her fourth grade students. Thanks to all that wore ties today!
Yesterday we continued our lesson with microscopes. We discovered how to use the fine focus nob. Our students discovered that they can use this focus nob to look at different layers of a material.
This demonstration was performed using small pieces of ribbon. Students were asked to make a wet mount using two slides, three pieces of ribbon (red, white, and blue), and three drops of water.
Above is a picture of the second layer of ribbons. Students were asked to pay attention to how many layers could be brought into focus at a time. In this slide it was the red ribbon, or the second layer of ribbons.
Last picture here is of the top layer of someones wet mount. In this picture you can see the blue ribbon, the top layer. We will be leaving microscopes for a little bit and turning our focus towards science fair projects.
....tomorrow is Tie Tuesday.
Its been a loooong week, but we are finally back in school today after last weeks ice storms. Glad to be back and after last week I am sure my students would agree. There is a science post forthcoming later today but for now I have a quick blog check.
