New Math and Science Units!

Starting this week, we will be moving into new Math and Science Units.

In Math, we will begin Measurement. Students will be asked to complete a series of estimates and actual measurements. You can practice at home by estimating how tall/long objects are, or how far away things are while you are driving or walking. Just remember that we are using Metric units - mm, cm, dm, m, etc!

In Science, we are beginning the Flight Unit. We will begin the unit with a series of experiments that demonstrate the characteristics of air, and will culminate in a student designed experiment about flight that examines how flying objects make use of the properties of air.

Here are a couple of interesting flight links:
