Happy Monday Morning!

I cannot believe that it's summer break already!

I've added a few fun lessons to each grade level.

Good Morning my wonderful scientist. I can't believe that this is our last full week of school. It's been a different year for all of us, but I hope that you were able to continue learning and exploring science. To prepare for our virtual scavenger hunt we will review Matter. I've included a Mystery Science Link and some amazing videos that show that ice isn't the only thing that melts when it gets too hot. Go to your grade level page to access the videos and activity.

Tuesday, June 2: Virtual Scavenger Hunt with the Special Area Teachers

Wednesday, June 3: Virtual Dance Party to Celebrate the Million Minute of Reading Challenge

Mystery Science is going live once again, and it's all about space. Doug's special guest will be astronaut Jessica Meir who filmed videos for Mystery Science while in space.

If you haven't gotten a chance to take the Nickelodeon virtual field trip I encourage you to do so. It's quite amazing to see how slime reacts in space.

To prepare for the live event learn about space on the NASA website. You can learn more about Jessica Meir and other astronauts. Just follow the link below. I also added a link for great space exploration material for all grades. Go to your grade level page to find cool topics and experiments that you can try. A big thanks to 3rd grade teacher Ms Burgess for sharing this with us!

Happy Monday! Here's a new Mystery Doug Short just in time for Mother's Day. Learn how flowers bloom in spring. The project with this lesson makes a great gift for mom or someone special. If you don't have the supplies for the project it's ok. There are other ways to experiment with this lesson. You'll either need light colored flowers, pieces of celery or lettuce leaves and a few drops of food coloring.

4/22/2020 Happy Earth Day!

Things are very different right now, but this is a great time to understand human impact on the earth. Think of some great things that may help the earth because we have to shelter in place for a little while.

I've uploaded a few links to help you celebrate Earth Day. Be sure to check out the Mystery Doug extras and try some of the activities that he suggests. Join the Earth Day live stream event today at 4pm. Learn about the history of earth day and some fun activities that you can try at home.
